Keto Brussels Sprouts with Bacon…In that sentence, I don’t know what my favorite word is. I love everything about this recipe, it makes a delicious side to just about any protein you could pair it with and is seriously one of my personal favorites.
The main part of a keto meal is usually pretty easy but Keto sides can be hard. But a single serving(of a ribeye steak/chicken breast) doesn’t exactly make a meal. Unless I end up with a salmon filet and string cheese/pulled pork/pecans, I make plans for side dishes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that(but it’s not entirely satisfying and a little bit of a mish-mash).
That’s where this mouthwateringly delicious side and super easy comes in.
Recipe tips:
- Try to use organic sprouts whenever possible.
- Also, prior to cooking always wash them.
- Peel the first layer off in case the exterior layer of skin might be bad-looking.
- Can be roasted in the oven.
- Use fresh garlic as it tastes so much better.
Ingredients
- ▢(cut into 1-inch pieces) 8 slices bacon
- ▢ (washed, bottoms trimmed and cut in half) 2 pounds Brussels sprouts

- ▢1/2 teaspoon paprika
- ▢1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- ▢1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions
- Over medium heat, place a cast-iron skillet(large). Cook, once add the bacon pieces and until it gets crispy. Transfer to a paper-lined dish, once crispy.
