Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon Parmesan Brussels Sprouts with Black Garlic.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and adding your bacon.

2. Step 2

   Cook it until it’s beautifully browned and crispy, which should take about 7 to 10 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Now, it’s time to introduce the quartered Brussels sprouts to the skillet.

7. Step 7

   Toss them in along with the remaining butter, and season everything with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to your liking.

8. Step 8

   Stir occasionally as the Brussels sprouts cook, allowing them to become tender and develop a lovely golden-brown color, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re just right, remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the chopped bacon and a generous handful of shredded Parmesan cheese.
