Glazed Balsamic Bacon Brussels Sprouts (Edit recipe)

Brussels sprouts are my favorite vegetable and I know exactly why. Growing up, we would eat Brussels sprouts, but they were nothing like how I prepare them today. Back then, they were frozen and placed in the microwave or blanched in boiling water. By the time they made it to the dinner table, they were slathered in butter and salt and tasted like leafy, watery mush. Fast forward 20 years after being reintroduced to them, I was shocked to discover they were nothing like I remembered. When it comes to Brussels sprouts, fresh is always better! Yes, they do take a little bit of time to prepare, as in, you need to clean them up a bit, but I’ve learned to really enjoy it. It’s almost meditative now. I slice mine in half after cleaning them and roast them in the oven with red onion. Drizzle over balsamic vinegar and throw in some crispy bacon for one of the best side dishes ever. Where can I find Whole30 compatible bacon? Now, many people ask what kind of bacon I use that is compatible on Whole30. My favorite bacon is Naked Bacon which is Whole30 Approved. Also, if you use code PINCHOFPRIDE you’ll receive a FREE pack of bacon with every order! Jalapeño and Chipotle are my favorite flavors – check them out for a great Whole30 option.
