Some Brussels sprouts recipes call for bacon, but here's a little secret: Bacon fat will give you the same subtle bacon-y flavor. Just make sure you strain it through a coffee filter or something similar to remove any stray bits (which will burn.) This simple technique for cooking Brussels sprouts yields the crispiest results imaginable and--bonus--it's mostly hands-off.

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Slice the Brussels sprouts lengthwise into thirds. If some of the outer leaves fall off, that's okay; don't discard them--they'll crisp up nicely in the oven. Transfer the sprouts to a bowl, add the bacon fat, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss to combine. Spread them out on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until the smaller sprouts are crispy, about 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the crispy sprouts to a serving plate. With tongs, flip over the remaining sprouts (flipping them individually makes for the crispiest results). Return to the oven and bake until deeply browned and crisp all over, 5 to 10 more minutes.
