I never tried Brussels sprouts as a child and I can’t recall if I have anything but shaved Brussels sprouts and I’m not going to lie I love them. I’ve heard that the reason why people hate Brussels sprouts is that they are easily overcooked. In my experience using the shaved version makes it easier to know avoid that problem. Plus bacon makes everything delicious and you don’t even need to use that much. Love this as an easy lighter side that can be made up super fast.
Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 10 oz bag of shaved Brussels sprouts (I got mine from Trader Joes)
Cook up the bacon. Leave about 1 tsp drippings. Pan fry the Brussels sprouts in the drippings. This should only take a couple minutes max. You don’t want them soft or musshy. Top with (or mix in) crumbled bacon and serve.

I never knew they sold shaved brussel sprouts. That makes things so easy. I have never made brussel sprouts with bacon and I can’t wait to try this. Just pinned this to my Eat Your Veggies board.

I’ve never seen them already cut before…such a time saver!! We roast ours with bacon and apples. They are so good and at least four of us fight over who gets the last spoonful :-)
marissa | Rae Gun Ramblings says
oh the addition of apples sounds delicious I’m going to have to try that!

Brussels Sprouts were our ‘holiday’ veggie growing up…like Christmas, Thanksgiving and my birthday if I was lucky! I LOVE ’em! I was recently taken out to dinner for my birthday to a VERY fancy steakhouse and this is the side dish I ordered! Yum-my! Thanks!
