Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon - chopped
  • 1.5 pound brussels sprouts - trimmed and shaved thin
  • salt and pepper - to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic - minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes - optional
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese - freshly shredded

Instructions

  • Prepare brussels sprouts. Trim and remove outer layers. Slice in half, and then finely slice each half. 

Notes

  1. Pro Tip: I use a sharp knife to slice the Brussels sprouts very thin. You could also use a mandolin, but be careful. I've cut myself too many times with that thing, so now I keep it in storage.
  2. You could use more bacon, of course.
  3. Red pepper flakes give this a perfect little kick, but could be omitted, if preferred.
