CRISPY BRUSSEL SPROUTS WITH BACON RECIPE
Prep time: 10 mins & Cook time: 8 mins
Serves 4

class.claireta...
4 slices bacon, chopped
1kg (2 pounds) Brussels sprouts
Salt
Balsamic vinegar (optional)
Instructions:
1. Cook the bacon until crispy. Drain, reserving the bacon and the fat separately.
2. Preheat the oven to 450F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
3. Trim the stem and outer leaves from each sprout. Cut each one in half lengthwise. Combine with about 3 tablespoons of the reserved bacon fat and toss well to coat.
4. Preheat the prepared pan (empty) in the oven for about 4 minutes. Carefully spread the sprouts not the hot pan in a single layer and sprinkle with salt. Roast 4 min then flip the sprouts and roast another 3 to 5 min or until tender crisp.
5. Toss with reserved bacon. Drizzle with vinegar if you like.
TIP: Cooking sprouts at a very high temperature is the secret to making them crispy, not funky!

music was a little loud! But I'm looking for different approaches with brussel sprouts to see if I can get my parents to like them.

[@Heiscomingbacksoon7]

The music is annoying, but the recipe is spot on! ❤️

[@jijiwaiwai6747]

I tried tonight. I've never seen my son eat so much Brussel sprouts before. 😋🙏

[@grampsradio]

1:24 - Why? The background music is seriously IRRITATING!

[@dawnitalutz1953]

I'm so excited to have found you and I'm going to do this for Thanksgiving meal. Thanks!

[@GPMIAMI]

Hello Claire, I love your video. Your dish is one of my favorite side dishes. Sent from Miami, Florida

[@ruth-ellennightingale7970]

Nice and easy for my daughter to try. I usually make this with chopped onions too.

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Great 👍

[@hillcountrycinematics314]

Wow! How easy is that! And who doesn’t LOVE bacon!

[@gamadmex]

I am going to try this tonight. I love the use of the bacon fat for the coating and flavoring. And I was thinking about adding maple syrup until you said "balsamic" and parmesan. I am hungry now.

[@delmaplain5358]

This looks great! WhenI get to store I am getting some fresh Brussel Sprouts a d give them a try.

[@rikmoody3760]

The KZbin subtitles crack me up! “And of course Chris penis, so take a baking sheet...” 4:39

[@keishajlewis]

I tried this last night and it was the best sprouts I have ever made! Thank you so much!

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Great to hear!

[@clydellaperies4721]

I have tried this recipe after Christmas as a snack. Hated vegetable turned into delicious crispy treat. I didn't even add balsamic vinegar. Fantastic and simple recipe. Thank you.

[@BinZiegler]

what temperature should we set for the oven?

[@joy.146]

Looks delicious! Would these be ok to make in advance for a dinner (eg the night before or morning of… and then warm up)?? Any advice would be appreciated!

[@darrylmallard2532]

I cooked this tonight and my son killed it. This was really easy and really good!

[@nicestrat]

What exactly was "it" that your son killed?

[@MrScotty5877304]

If you microwave bacon for say 30 seconds before cooking it gets all the liquid out and you get perfect crispy bacon everytime

[@Heiscomingbacksoon7]

Thank you for sharing!! ❤️

[@misscelanious4788]

Great information! Thanks for sharing

[@Justme-mt9zn]

Thank you for letting us know that. Never knew.

[@MrScotty5877304]

@@Justme-mt9zn yeah might sound a bit conspiracy theory but people say bacon gets injected with water before it goes to be cut into slices ( increases the weight increases the profit ) I wouldnt have believed it until I learned this trick try it and watch how much water comes out its amazing. Just do it for 15 30 seconds gets all the water out then cook as normal, perfect crispy bacon everytime

[@Justme-mt9zn]

@@MrScotty5877304 I'm so going to try it. Does it matter how many pieces at a time?

[@unhagalega]

In Spain we cook with olive oil

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Yum, does that work well at high heat in the oven?

[@jamiefitchbowen6319]

I will not watch your videos because of the music in background. I want to HEAR you.

[@TheHolisticHazelnut]

This method was a game-changer for me yesterday! Thanks for the tips!! Made an even better Thanksgiving side than in the past.

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Fantastic!

[@lesiamccord5334]

[@jeanmanning8028]

Will try very soon. Daughter loves Brusssels sprouts.

[@MD-ry9ou]

AWESOME RECIPE. I LOVES IT. 👍

[@cloyse90]

Great video great sound everyone else is just hating what's the name of this song?

[@1950steele]

The music in the video is very annoying and hard to hear what you are saying. 😡

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Have I convinced you it is possible to love brussel sprouts? And did you know they're actually spelled Brussels sprouts?

[@johnballard6725]

There's a lot of Brussels sprouts hatred and negativity for some reason which you have helped to dispel !

[@daveoatway6126]

I made these for Thanksgiving after viewing your video - they came out GREAT! Everyone of the limited guests loved them. I used fresh sprouts off the stalk. Thank you!

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Yay!! Thanks!!

Making these for Easter Sunday, thanks!

[@CookingWithTheCajun]

Your Brussel Sprouts look good, I think Bacon brings a great flavor to the dish. Thanks for the video.

[@sararshleweet90]

Bacon is a dead animal though.. just a reminder

[@MySeductress]

Made this for dinner tonight. A hit!

[@gm19651]

Great idea with bacon. Little bit wasted on the Brussel sprouts

[@katherynkennedy5881]

It's a toss up on sprouts being cut side up or down. What's the general preference?

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Half and half......

[@cecilialamas4590]

You said 180F Isn’t that too low? And then another messages people say 450 Fahrenheit so I am confused can you please clarify thank you they look great I want to do them

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Cook at 450F! The reference to 180F is about brassica science! www.clairetansey.com/post/crispy-brussels-sprouts-with-bacon

[@gerdsfargen6687]

Xmas here we come!

[@alanjohnson8077]

I would not use that bacon because it is nearly all fat.

[@urbanurchin5930]

.......FAT MEANS FLAVOR !!!........

[@annawhite8824]

OKAY, do I have to blance spourts first

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Nope!

[@patriciatreslove146]

I love sprouts, must try

[@thecreativemanifestor3514]

This was a huge hit thanks! ❤

[@KateMurray]

I'm with you....brussels are definitely better when they're crispy!!

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching.

[@2112acj]

Looks great

[@isee7668]

Are you talking American degrees or human degrees?

[@theophano]

no bacon!

[@unhagalega]

It's better if you use olive oil instead of fat, olive oil is more helthy

[@lolawalsh9187]

Music sucks..alzo post recipe below. No subscribe

[@barbarajeang.506]

The music audio, very loud, makes it distracting to focus on the "recipe/cooking"! Love the recipe, but had to turn it off! Sorry.

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Sorry to hear that!

[@chinestory2095]

Brussel is super healthy. I can totally imagine bacon goes well with it.

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Yep. Healthy AND tasty all in one bite.

[@pinzgauerbelgium]

And now when your done....make a plain White saus with garlic to put on the Brussels sprouts....thats how we do it here in Belgium 👍

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Interesting!

[@tif321dc]

I've always put red pepper flakes in mine

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Nice.

[@mdgqTube]

Can these be prepared in advance and reheated when needed?

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Unfortunately, no. I do everything else in advance -- fry the bacon, slice the sprouts, prep the pan, then just broast them at the last minute.

[@johnmccrae1102]

I crush some chestnuts over the top as well

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

I love chestnuts with Brussels.

[@willemfeather2655]

Oven temp?

[@clarablackstone3157]

This needs an answer

[@lizzijansen6527]

450? That’s what she said I think.

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

450F! (Sorry, there was a glitch in my comments and I'm just seeing this now.)

[@jamesmichaelfrank]

The balsamic is a nice touch !

[@ClaireTanseysKitchen]

Agreed ;)

The music is driving me nuts!

Sorry to hear that.

[@sdlaminimathebula]

So grateful for your method, I enjoyed preparing as advised. 🎉 My husband loved them!

Can you fo this in a toaster oven?

As long as it gets to 450F, yes!
