Written by Erin Porter

This bacon Brussels sprouts recipe is not only Kaufmann diet approved but one of the few things all three of my kids agree about.  They love them.  This recipe would be considered Kaufmann 1, also known as Phase 1.

Bacon Brussel Sprouts

Erin Porter
A guilt free way to eat bacon! These Brussel Sprouts are still delicious on their own but the bacon really adds some delicious flavor to this side dish. I serve a vegetable to our 3 kids every night and I could not find one they all agreed on until now. This is a recipe the kids get excited about and we eat this side dish about twice a week.
Course Kaufmann 1, Side Dishes

Ingredients
  

  • Bacon-organic Nitrite/Nitrate free
  • Brussel sprouts
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cook the bacon until it’s crispy, then crumble into small pieces.
  • Cut the bottoms off of the Brussel sprouts and then cut them in half. Steam the Brussel sprouts for approximately 15 minutes. I do not recommend boiling them. It changes the flavor and consistency in an unfavorable way.
  • In a bowl toss the Brussel sprouts with a tbsp of olive oil and the bacon pieces.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Kaufmann 1 diet
Health benefits of brussel sprouts - Brussels sprouts are surprisingly high in protein for a green vegetable, and just one serving would meet your needs for vitamin C and vitamin K for the day. Not only do brussel sprouts help prevent cancer but they offer digestive support, are an anti-inflammatory and they lower your risk of heart disease. This is to just name a few.
