Description
A fast and simple recipe for cooking shredded Brussels sprouts on the stovetop until they are tender-crisp, flavored with garlic and crispy bacon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, thinly shredded
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped bacon to the skillet and cook until crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
- Add the shredded Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Sauté for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Season the sprouts with salt and pepper.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice and the reserved crispy bacon.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, shred the Brussels sprouts thinly and uniformly. You can use a food processor with a shredding disc or a sharp knife.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, substitute the lemon juice with 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar at the end.
- If you skip the bacon, add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil for sautéing and increase the salt slightly.
