Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts
• 4 pieces Thick-cut bacon slices
• 2 medium Shallots
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the Brussels sprouts. Using a sharp knife, cut off the tough stems and remove any discolored outer leaves. Thinly slice the Brussels sprouts into ribbons (also known as a chiffonade) and set them aside.

Step 2

Peel and finely slice the shallots. Mince the garlic cloves and set both aside.

Step 3

Slice the bacon into small strips. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet, discarding any excess.

Step 4

Add the olive oil to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat and heat over medium heat. Add the shallots to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, being cautious not to let it burn.

Step 6

Raise the heat to medium-high and add the shredded Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper. Stir in the cooked bacon and fresh lemon juice, tossing to combine evenly.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the dish for extra flavor.

Step 9

Transfer the Brussels sprouts chiffonade to a serving dish and enjoy immediately as a side dish.
