Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 4 slices Bacon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 Lime
- 1 Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellowing outer leaves. Cut larger sprouts in half for even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the Brussels sprouts evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble into pieces once cooled.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Cut the avocado into cubes and squeeze half the lime over it to prevent browning.
Once the Brussels sprouts are done, transfer them back to the large bowl. Add the crumbled bacon, sautéed garlic, avocado cubes, and a sprinkle of red chili flakes (if using).
Squeeze the remaining lime juice over the dish and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
