Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Apple is a quick and simple side dish for weeknight meals or Sunday suppers. It pairs especially well with pork roasts or pork chops!
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet on medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts and bacon. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the bacon is cooked and crisp.
Pour honey and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine apple, pumpkin seeds, brussels sprouts, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish.
Notes
Make it vegetarian by replacing the bacon with 200 g portobello mushrooms.
Honey can be used in place of the maple syrup.
Fresh Brussels Sprouts can be used instead of frozen, they just need to cook a bit longer.
The apples can be cooked with the bacon and Brussels Sprouts if you prefer.
