Tips & Tricks
For delicious sprouts, make sure to cook them in hot oil. This helps them sear quickly, leaving a caramelized exterior and juicy and tender middle.
Don’t remove bacon grease from the pan – it helps the Brussels sprouts sear and get extra bacon flavor.
Feel free to crumble the pistachios if you prefer Brussel sprouts with more crunch.
