  1. I made 5kg of these over the Christmas holiday! I added pine nuts and when I ran out of bacon I used Christmas ham! I made it fir 2 groups. Firstly for my work colleagues who were so disappointed at first, that I had brought yuck Brussels to share for our Christmas lunch…. Well, they changed their minds pretty quick and promptly complained that I had only brought a kilo! Secondly for family, I had both sides over for lunch and it all disappeared. My mum went to buy more sprouts and pine nuts on Boxing Day as a hint!

  3. I realised I did not have enough brussel sprouts so substituted with asparagus, ended up about a 50/50 ratio. Tastes delicious! Can’t wait to try it with an egg too.

  4. I made this and served it to my adult daughters who have never been a fan of brussel sprouts (I did tell them it was cabbage & bacon to get them to eat it)…..Yep you guessed it both loved it and are now making it on a regular basis, even the grandchildren like it!!

  5. Absolutely delicious! The charred flavour went brilliantly with slow cooked silverside, steamed veg and and bechamel sauce. Do yourself a favour and make this easy and yummy recipe.

  6. Thought I’d try Brussels again for the first time since childhood when my mother would just boil them to death (blerk) and loved this. Had it for breakfast with a 70/12 egg on top. Just delicious. Thanks!!

  7. Cooked this last week and told brussels sprouts detesting hubby to try a bit (I only made a small amount as he only bought enough sprouts for me!) and I nearly had to snatch the bowl back from him! Now he’s saying that he’ll buy me more sprouts and bacon so I can make that dish again, lol. Thanks Nik!

  8. omg this is amazing. not a huge Brussels sprouts fan but this was so tasty and easy. will definitely have this again. Thanks for another great recipe

  9. Wow !great recipe .I saw this recipe and knew this would be how I would convince my almost 9 year old to like Brussel sprouts.It worked:Another great recipe look forward to enjoying the left overs with poached eggs in the morning.

  10. Ha. I was a doubter (these are Brussel sprouts we are talking about), but this is just tremendous. Even green-hating 17-y-o son loved them.

  11. Already a sprouts lover, made this tonight and DH gave it a go (not so much a sprout lover) to which I got the “you can make that again” 🙂 big thumbs up thanks Nik.

  12. Loved this dish. As something a little different I drizzled some Balsamic Glaze over the top. Delish. Sweet and salty. Thank you Nik, another awesome recipe.

  13. Made this last night, it didn’t make it onto my plate. I ate it straight out of the pan. Yum. I used butter instead of oil. Just because everything tastes better with butter. I have been making this with cabbage for years, don’t know why I never thought of Brussel sprouts. Thanks Nik.

  14. Omg. I just made this and i can’t stop eating it! So delicious! There’s going to be none left to serve for dinner!

  15. Yum, I’ve been addicted to roasted Brussels sprouts lately so it’ll be good to have some variation – thanks.

  16. Chop 1/2 brown onion with bacon and cook together as for bacon. Follow recipe and the add pine nuts or slivered almonds at end.

  17. How can anyone ever complain about Brussel sprouts ever again? So simple and delicious. Thank you Nikalene.
