For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat. If you don't have reduced-sodium broth, use regular broth and reduce the amount of added salt. Roasting the Brussels sprouts instead of pan-frying is another delicious option. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at 400°F (200°C) until tender and slightly caramelized.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Cut a shallow 'X' into the core end of each Brussels sprout. This helps them cook evenly. Set aside. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Cook the bacon: Place bacon in a large skillet (cast iron works great) over medium-high heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden brown. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet; discard the rest, or save it for another use. Once cooled, crumble the bacon. (10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Sauté garlic and Brussels sprouts: Add 1 teaspoon of butter and olive oil to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Heat over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it. (3-5 minutes). Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet and toss to coat them with the garlicky oil. Season with salt and pepper.
04 Step
Recipe View Braise the Brussels sprouts: Pour in the chicken broth, then cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until the Brussels sprouts are tender and bright green, about 12-14 minutes. Remove the lid and allow any remaining liquid to evaporate. (15 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Finish and serve: Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons of butter until melted and the Brussels sprouts are nicely glazed. Fold in the crumbled bacon. Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish. (2 minutes)
