Sweet Potato and Brussels Sprouts





6 strips bacon (or more if you like), cut into 1 inch strips
1 onion , sliced
2 pounds brussels sprouts
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
1/3 - 1/2 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Cook bacon in skillet until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Reduce heat and add onion. (keep some of the bacon grease in the pan) Cook until translucent.

In another skillet, add brussels sprouts and a splash of water. Cook, stirring frequently until slightly soft. Add in the potato slices, browning each side and continue to steam. Add salt, and pepper. If you like extra crunch you can add some pecans or walnuts.

In another bowl, whisk together maple syrup and melted butter.

When you are ready to serve add brussels sprouts, sweet potato slices, bacon, and maple syrup together and serve.

You can also add everything but the bacon and bake at 400 for a while, it soaks in all the flavors.

Thank you Jessica Lehman
