Pancetta Brussels Sprouts

Take your brussels to a whole other level with this simple yet incredibly delicious recipe that uses pancetta instead of bacon and all I can say is WOW! Hope you get to enjoy these soon — highly recommend making them for Thanksgiving too!

Ingredients:

• 2lbs brussels sprouts (quartered)

• 5oz diced pancetta

• 1 cup bread crumbs

• 2 tbsp ghee

• 1 tsp garlic and herb seasoning

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

• pinch of salt

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• juice of half a lemon (if needed)

Steps:

1. Cut the end off the brussels sprouts then quarter and place into a large bowl to season with olive oil garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper to taste and toss to coat. Add pancetta then toss one more time and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet

2. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and cook for 20-25 minutes or until brussels start to crisp.

3. Meanwhile, mix bread crumbs, ghee and seasoning (if its too clumpy, add more bread crumbs).

4. Once brussels are cooked to your liking — add the bread crumb mixture over the brussels and broil on the middle rack for a few minutes until browned (keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn)

5. Transfer to a bowl and serve as-is or squeeze a little lemon over it to brighten it up
