Roasted Brussels & Bacon

Brenna May
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb thick-cut uncured bacon* I like Hemplers or no sugar bacon from the local butcher
  • 2 tbsp ghee or grass fed butter
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts halved
  • 1/2 large onion chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 avocado

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • Lay bacon out in cast iron pan, and bake until crispy, 15-20 minutes.
  • Alternatively you can cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy.
  • Remove to an unbleached paper towel-lined plate and cut. I like to use kitchen scissors to cut it into squares.
  • In the same pan with bacon fat, melt ghee over high heat. Add onions and Brussels Sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until sprouts are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss bacon back into pan.
  • Dice avocado and toss it into the pan with the bacon.
  • Serve and enjoy!
