Step 1 can be done up to 6 hours in advance. Finish sprouts in the pan just before serving.
Ingredients
1 kg brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
6 slices bacon, finely chopped
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tbsp butter
Instructions
BOIL a large pot of water. Add brussels sprouts and cook until bright green, 1 to 3 min. Drain and transfer to a large bowl of ice water. Once cool, drain well and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
HEAT a very large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add bacon. Cook until bacon is crisp, about 5 min. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate.
DISCARD all but 2 tbsp of fat in pan. Add brussels sprouts. Cook until golden-brown, stirring often, 6 to 8 min. Remove from heat.
STIR in maple syrup, butter and reserved bacon, until coated.
