BAKED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Flip the script on your sprouts. They are baked flat side down, allowing them to steam and absorb the rich flavours of seasoned butter and bacon bits, resulting in the perfectly cooked sprout.

SERVES 4-6

Ingredients-

- 80g Softened Butter
- 2 Garlic Clove, grated
- 40g Parmesan, grated
- 2 x 500g Brussel Sprouts
- 6 Sprigs Thyme, leaves only
- 1 tbsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 4 Streaky Bacon

Instructions-

(Additional ingredients you can use in the butter- finely chopped chestnuts, lemon zest, honey, miso paste)

-Firstly create your flavoured butter by softening the butter and grating in the garlic, Parmesan, thyme leaves, salt, pepper, brown sugar & olive oil.

-Line a baking tray with baking parchment (if you want some new trays check out my Amazon storefront for the trays and oven sheets.)

-Brush the tray with the butter then remove the dirty stalk and halve the Brussels sprouts, removing any loose outer leaves, place flat side down onto the butter.

-Cover the tray with foil and bake at 190°c for 25-35 minutes until the sprouts are fork tender.

-At the same time add the bacon to an oven tray and bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy. Leave to cook on an angle to drain the fat away, once cooked this will turn crispy and create your bacon crumb.

-Serve and enjoy!
