Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup diced pancetta
1 pound peeled Brussels sprouts, quartered
1 tablespoon freshly chopped thyme leaves
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the oil. Add pancetta and cook until slightly crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the Brussels sprouts and toss with the oil and pancetta to coat evenly. Add the thyme and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bake in the oven until nicely caramelized, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

This is the first and only time in my house that the vegetable dish was completely devoured! Everybody went back for seconds... and the pan was licked clean! This dish truly is phenomenal and I will make it again and again! Read more

Very Tasty!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Ok, so II didn't use 'fresh' brussel sprouts, but 1 bag of steamfresh brussel sprouts which I cooked in the mic for approx. 2... 1/2 mins. Removed and sliced in half, while I cooked my bacon(no pancetta either). Added mince garlic and 'ground thyme'(didn't have fresh thyme), but it still turned out delicious! Read more

So simple - so yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We love brussel sprouts but even if you aren't sure you do -who doesn't love pancetta? This was so simple and wonderful. I... thought that five minutes sounded like too litte cooking time and I did them for ten. But ten was slightly too much - they cooked very quickly. Go Big Daddy!Read more

Fantastic Flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am so glad I gave brussel sprouts another chance! My daughter and I watched this episode and she encouraged me to make... them for Thanksgiving. (She is 12 btw) This recipe was incredible and tasted even better the next day when I hit the leftovers! It just goes to prove that you shouldn't count something out until you give it a try. You may be pleasantly surprised! Read more
