“Glazed Brussels Sprouts”

This is an amazing side dish that the whole family will love! The sweet maple and smoky bacon definitely complement the Brussels sprouts just perfectly.

Ingredients: (serves 4)

5 no nitrate, applewood smoked bacon strips
1-pound fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed
3 Tbsp. organic, lightly-salted butter
1/2 cup low-sodium, organic chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup organic, maple syrup
1/4 tsp organic pepper

In an iron skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to a paper towel with a slotted spoon to drain

Meanwhile, cut an “X” in the core of each Brussels sprout. In the iron pain, sauté sprouts in butter until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes

Stir in broth, pecans, maple syrup and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Uncover; cook and stir until Brussels sprouts are tender, 8-10 minutes longer. Sprinkle with bacon for a perfect side-dish!
