Bacon Parmesan Brussels Sprouts Recipe with Black Garlic

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, quartered
• 0.5 pound bacon
• 0.5 cup butter, divided
• 1 clove black garlic
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Cook bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, reserving the bacon grease in the skillet. Once cooled, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
2. Melt 1/4 cup butter with the black garlic clove in the skillet with the bacon grease. Mash the black garlic until it forms a paste, then sauté until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts and the remaining butter; season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are nicely browned and tender-crisp, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked bacon and Parmesan cheese until everything is well combined and the cheese has melted slightly. Transfer to a serving dish and cover to keep warm if not serving immediately.
