Tips for Brussels Sprouts with Diced Bacon and Apples:

  • Choose firm and fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for bright green sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any sprouts that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts properly: Cut off the tough stem end and remove any wilted or discolored leaves.
  • Use high-quality bacon: Choose thick-cut bacon for a more substantial flavor and texture.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy: This will help render out the fat and add flavor to the dish.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different types of apples will provide different flavors and textures to the dish. For example, Granny Smith apples are tart and crisp, while Honeycrisp apples are sweet and juicy.
  • Season the dish to taste: Use salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.
  • Serve immediately: Brussels sprouts are best served hot and crispy.
