NOTES & TIPS

(1) Brussels Sprouts. I use fresh brussels sprouts. To prepare them, first wash and remove any bad leaves. Second, trim each sprout by cutting off the bottom protruding end of the core. Third, cut each sprout in half by slicing through the core. You may end up with some loose leaves; don’t discard them because they crisp up beautifully in the oven, almost like crunchy “brussels chips.”
(2) Parmesan Cheese. This is finely grated parmesan that has a sandy or almost powdery texture (not shredded), available in pre-grated bags in the refrigerated section of U.S. grocery stores. This can be substituted with similar cheeses like pecorino romano or asiago.
(3) Evenly Spaced Ingredients. Verify that the brussels sprouts and bacon are evenly spread out on the baking sheet. It’ll take much longer to bake if the ingredients aren’t in a single layer.
(4) Baking Time. Ovens can vary a lot, and the time estimate listed in the recipe is only a general guideline. Monitor the food frequently; it’s done when the brussels sprouts are tender and darkened, the bacon is crispy, and the balsamic vinegar looks “baked in.” Avoid baking too long and burning the food.
(5) Serving. Serve this as a side to meaty main dishes like slow cooked turkey breast or roasted pork tenderloin, or alongside these low carb Thanksgiving dishes.

I love brussels, pretty much in any form. My favorite are from Family Dog (http://www.thefamilydogatl.com/) in Virginia Highlands in Atlanta, GA. This is the absolute closest recipe that I can come to with their’s…minus the parmesean). Absolutely perfect side for a number of dishes, or if you are feeling the veg, as a main course….

These are wonderful! I’d have to skip the balsamic vinegar if I wanted my husband to eat them, but I could use a little maple syrup…
