Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Cut bacon into 1/4-inch thick strips (lardons).
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon lardons and cook until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove skillet from the heat and transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve bacon drippings in the skillet.
- Place Brussels sprouts on a sheet pan and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with some of the bacon drippings and toss to coat.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until Brussels sprouts are a little charred, 5 to 6 minutes.
- While the Brussels sprouts are cooking, heat the skillet with the remaining bacon drippings over medium heat. Add onions and saute slowly until caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove Brussels sprouts from the oven and add to the skillet with corn and thyme. Stir until combined and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS LARDONS
Copyright 2004, Barefoot in Paris. These are really very good. Update 11/28/2207: it is possible that the chicken broth may not be necessary! It could be enough with cooking them 5 minutes and browning them that they are done - pierce them to see if they are tender. Just add the raisins when browning the brussel sprouts. Update 01/20/2009: I also forgot to mention that I have made these with turkey bacon and they were just as delicious as with the other bacon!! ;)

It seems that most of the recipes we find that we REALLY enjoy from Food Network come from Barefoot Contessa. Here's one of her best. It made a Brussels Sprouts lover out of my Brussels Sprouts hater Auntie Bev. We eat them usually at least once a week.

Tips:
- To save time, buy pre-cooked lardons or bacon bits. If using raw bacon, cook it until crispy before adding it to the dish.
- Brussels sprouts can be roasted, sautéed, or steamed. Roasting brings out their nutty flavor, while sautéing gives them a slightly caramelized texture. Steaming is a healthier option that preserves their nutrients.
- To prevent the Brussels sprouts from becoming bitter, trim them properly. Cut off the brown ends and any yellow or wilted leaves.
- Brussels sprouts pair well with a variety of flavors, including garlic, onion, shallots, bacon, nuts, and cheese. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite recipe.
- If you're short on time, you can make Brussels sprouts in the microwave. Simply toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and cook them for 3-4 minutes per side.
Conclusion:
Brussels sprouts are a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you roast them, sauté them, or steam them, they're sure to be a hit. With their slightly bitter flavor and nutty texture, Brussels sprouts are a great addition to any meal. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give Brussels sprouts a try.
