Skillet Brussels Sprouts

A cast iron skillet with Brussels sprouts, diced onions, and diced bacon in it.

Cast-iron grilled Brussels sprouts are a savory side dish, which complements many outdoor meals. Tossed with bacon and onions, then cooked on the grill, this dish has a great smoky flavor.

If you want to step the dish up a little bit why not experiment with bacon alternatives. Try pancetta as a more sophisticated option, or leftover diced ham.

Brussels sprouts are usually available during the fall and winter months. But sometimes you can still get them during early spring. Avoid frozen sprouts, as these won’t hold up while cooking.
