Crispy Pan Fried Brussel Sprouts

Directions

• Place bacon slices into a saute pan, fry on medium heat for a few minutes on each side, until crispy.
• Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain and set aside. Reserve grease in pan. Once bacon is cool enough to handle, finely chop.
• Add 2 tbsp. olive oil to pan and swirl around. Add brussels sprouts, season with sea salt and black pepper, and stir to distribute.
• Increase heat to medium-high. Arrange brussels sprouts in a single layer and sear for about 3-4 minutes, without moving, until well browned on the bottom. Flip over and sear the other side.
• Add balsamic vinegar and remaining 1 tbsp. olive oil to pan. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes more.
• Bring chopped bacon back to pan. Toss to combine and serve immediately!
