Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for Brussels sprouts that are firm and have tightly closed leaves.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end of each Brussels sprout and remove any yellow or wilted leaves.
  • Make sure the bacon jam is thick: If the bacon jam is too thin, it will not coat the Brussels sprouts evenly.
  • Roast the Brussels sprouts at a high temperature: This will help them to caramelize and get crispy.
  • Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately: They are best when served hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Brussels sprouts with bacon jam is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The Brussels sprouts are roasted until they are caramelized and crispy, and the bacon jam adds a sweet and savory flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
