This recipe is a savory way to enjoy healthy Brussels sprouts and can be altered to your liking by the addition or subtraction of ingredients.
Ingredients
  • 2 dozen Brussels sprouts, stems removed and sliced in half (or quartered, if extra-large)
  • 3 oz. Manchego-style cheese, crumbled (a Mexican fresco type will work)
  • 2 TBSP bacon bits
  • 1 TBSP dried cranberries, chopped
  • 1-2 TBSP olive oil
Instructions
  1. In a large saucepan, heat 1 TBSP olive oil on medium heat.
  2. When hot, add sprouts and toss to coat with oil.
  3. Continually toss as you sauté the sprouts to a golden brown, approximately 10 minutes. Toward end of sauté process, I like to add the extra tablespoon of olive oil, though this is totally up to you.
  4. Once sautéed to your liking, add bacon bits and cranberries and toss together until warm and well-blended, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add cheese and mix together for a minute or two longer.
  6. Serve warm.
Notes
This recipe can also be made on the grill. Place ingredients in foil, and flip several times throughout the cooking process.
