Elevate roasted Brussels sprouts with smoky bacon lardons, creamy corn, and Southern charm.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound thick-cut smoked bacon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.5 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 large sweet yellow onions, sliced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme, stemmed
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 450 degrees F (230 degrees C), then slice the bacon into charming 1/4-inch thick strips, also known as lardons.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, sizzle bacon lardons in hot oil until beautifully crispy in about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate, keeping all the flavorful bacon drippings in the skillet.
  • Spread Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, then drizzle with bacon drippings and toss until coated.
  • Roast Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, broil until they are slightly charred, for about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Once the Brussels sprouts are on the stove, warm up the skillet with the rest of the bacon drippings at medium heat. Cook the onions slowly until caramelized, for about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Take the roasted Brussels sprouts out of the oven and transfer them to the skillet along with the corn and thyme. Stir everything together and cook until warmed through, approximately 5 minutes.
