This side dish comes from the cookbook The Healing Kitchen, by Sarah Ballantyne and Alaena Haber. I seriously love this cookbook for so many reasons! 1) It has a picture with every recipe. This I need, because the picture speaks 1000 words. 2) It has 12 meal plans. 4 that are general, 4 for batch cooking, and 6 specialized meal plans (one for busy people, people with kids, one-pot meals, etc). 3) This cookbook has a thorough introduction that explains why these recipes are healthy, and why certain foods aren’t included. It’s extremely informational!
This Brussel Sprouts with Bacon recipe is incredibly delicious and a gorgeous side dish too! It would go well with a simple roasted chicken, a pork loin recipe, or maybe some steaks and potatoes! Head over to Amazon to get your copy of the The Healing Kitchen.
- 1 pound Brussel sprouts, halved lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
