    My PCOS Kitchen - Brussels Sprouts with Bacon - A paleo and keto simple appetizer or side dish! Low Carb, gluten-free and dairy-free.

    I went grocery shopping the other day and found some Brussels sprouts! I know.  Why is finding Brussels sprouts so exciting?  I think I've only found them once or twice in the two years that I've lived here in Japan so seeing food that I don't normally see gets me so excited! The other thing that was really exciting was finding some pearl onions right beside the Brussels sprouts.  I absolutely love the flavor of pearl onions and so I thought this would make a great dish when paired together. I decided to make a quick and easy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon dish that takes less than 10 minutes to make.

    If you're short on time or looking for a great appetizer or side for dinner than this is it! I couldn't make a big batch of it because to your disbelief, 12 Brussels sprouts cost about 3$...I still have a few sprouts left as I didn't want to use all of them so I'll figure out something else to make with them so that they can last me for a couple of meals.  The first time I made this dish, I remember that I had pre-cooked the bacon and then added the sprouts and onions, but that was a big mistake as the bacon got overcooked.  This time I decided to cook everything all together all at once and it turned out perfect!

    I wasn't sure if my boyfriend would like it because he had never eaten Brussels sprouts and he's a pretty picky eater, but he loved this dish! We don't live together so he doesn't usually eat vegetables and doesn't cook so when he comes over, I like to cook delicious healthy meals for him.

    For more Brussels sprouts recipes, you'll definitely want to check out this low carb Brussels sprouts gratin as it's so cheesy and delicious! You can also try a similar recipe to this one by using radishes instead in this fried radishes and bacon recipe. If you want healthy but other delicious meals I recommend checking out my 7-Day PCOS Diet Plan.

      Thank you so much for this. My kids never want to eat vegetables, but with bacon they didn't care!
