Equipment

cast iron skillet
large bowl
measuring spoons
large spoon
spatula

Ingredients

1-½ pounds fresh Brussels sprouts, washed, trimmed, and cut in half
4 slices of thick-cut bacon
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 F.
In a large cast-iron skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat. Flip the bacon over one time to cook evenly on both sides.
Remove the skillet from the heat, and place the cooked bacon on some paper towels to drain the fat off. Blot bacon with paper towels to remove excess fat and then crumble the bacon (leave in large pieces if you like).
Toss the Brussels sprouts and olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Just a little sprinklng of each is all you need.
Return the skillet to the stove and heat to medium-high. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for several minutes until they begin to brown. Add the bacon pieces to the skillet and put into the pre-heated oven. Roast for 10 minutes, stir, and roast for another 10-15 minutes or until the sprouts turn a rich, dark color.
Remove skillet from oven and enjoy.

Notes

Keep fresh, unwashed Brussels sprouts refrigerated for 3-5 days after purchase for best results. Once cooked, they will stay fresh for up to 3 days. Store cooked Brussels sprouts in airtight containers.
