Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 150 grams Smoky tempeh bacon strips
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Clean the Brussels sprouts by trimming the ends and removing any yellow or damaged leaves. After cleaning, slice each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced Brussels sprouts to the skillet, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add the smoky tempeh bacon strips.
Cook the tempeh bacon for about 5 minutes until crispy, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once the Brussels sprouts are done, add the crispy tempeh bacon to the skillet with them, stirring to combine.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the Brussels sprouts and tempeh bacon mixture and toss well.
Transfer the mixture to a serving plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful vegetarian dish.
