Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 6-8 slices of fatty bacon
- 1 lb brussels sprouts
- 2 tbsp bacon fat
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp rice vinegar
- 1/4 tsp garlic, grated
- 1/4 tsp ginger, grated
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425 F. Meanwhile, prepare the brussels sprouts (see instructions above).
- 2
To prepare the bacon, lay the bacon in a pan along with just enough water to cover the slices. Cook the bacon over medium-high heat until the water evaporates, flipping occasionally for even cooking. Once crispy, set the slices aside and reserve the rendered bacon fat.

In a large bowl, combine together the prepared sprouts, rendered bacon fat, and ground black pepper. Gently toss until the sprouts are fully coated. Lay the sprouts cut-side down (flat side) in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking tray. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the sprouts are visibly charred and the centre is tender.

While the sprouts are roasting, prepare the ginger-garlic sauce by combining all the ingredients together until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Take the reserve crispy bacon slices from earlier, and roughly chop into smaller pieces.

Once the sprouts are roasted, toss the sprouts along with the crispy bacon bits to combine and drizzle the ginger-garlic sauce on top. Taste and season the sprouts with additional salt and/or pepper if needed. Enjoy!
