CRISPY BRUSSEL SPROUTS REVIEW UP

CRISPY BRUSSEL SPROUTS W/BACON AND GARLIC

*** These are getting 3 stars, as they weren't as tasty as I thought they would be. (I think boiling them first is what's wrong with these.  I think if you just put a little olive on them, salt, pepper and garlic tossed


 in, throw them in the oven for 30-40 minutes, then toss the cooked bacon in, these would be great. Will try it that way, and let you know how it turns out!) We found these to be to dry.  I probably will not make these again.

3. Blanch brussels sprouts for 4 minutes then drain and refresh in cold running water.

4. Cut sprouts in half lengthwise.

5. Heat olive oil on high. Add bacon and cook 1 minute.

We had these sprouts with the killer pork chops I made the other day. Just as good warmed up. They are just so good!
