Weight Watchers Skillet Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
I’m excited to share this delicious side dish that I made for dinner last night with you. If you are a brussels sprouts skeptic, this recipe may just win you over. Sweet and smoky, it was the perfect side dish to accompany our simple grilled chicken breast.
Roasting brussels sprouts is a great way to cut one down on the bitterness and enhance their natural sweetness. To save time this easy recipe uses a skillet-fry method to deliver the same smoky goodness as roasting but in less time.
Did you know that brussels sprouts are packed with nutrients and cancer-fighting compounds? They are high in Vitamin, A, potassium, folate, iron, fiber and Vitamin C. I love delicious recipes that provide a great way to eat healthier. And adding a little bacon is an easy way to make eating your vegetables so much more enjoyable.
