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.
Once all the ingredients are combined cook them until bacon crisps and the sprouts have softened.
The brussels sprouts can be cooked whole or they can be cut in half.
The skillet Brussels sprouts can be cooked over a campfire or gas while outdoors.
