Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 1 spray burst Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts. Halve the medium-sized sprouts and quarter the larger ones for uniform cooking.
Step 2
In a large skillet, cook the turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy, around 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 3
Using the same skillet, lightly spray with olive oil. Add the Brussels sprouts, cut side down, and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Allow the Brussels sprouts to cook undisturbed for about 6-8 minutes, until they develop a golden-brown crust on the cut side.
Step 5
Stir the Brussels sprouts gently to expose the other sides to heat. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, until they become tender but still slightly firm in texture.
Step 6
Add the crumbled bacon back into the skillet and toss with the Brussels sprouts.
Step 7
Drizzle the lemon juice over the mixture and stir gently to combine all flavors.
Step 8
Serve hot, garnished with freshly cracked black pepper or additional salt if desired.
