This is such a simple and good recipe that I can not believe I never thought to make my Brussels sprouts like this before. I was looking at recipes online for another project and saw one similar to this, but I did not have the ingredients called for in that other recipe. So, I made this one up using what I did have.
Gluten Free Brussels Sprouts With Honey Lime Sauce and Bacon
1 lb fresh Brussels Sprouts
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup honey
3 T olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/3 lb bacon
Trim Brussels sprouts and cut in half or thirds. Place in a microwave and oven safe baking dish. Add 1/4 cup water, cover with plastic wrap, and steam in microwave for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, fry bacon until crispy, then crumble it. Mix the honey, olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl and whisk until blended, about 1 minute.
Take the Brussels sprouts out of the microwave. Drizzle with the honey lime sauce, sprinkle with salt. Crumble the bacon over the top. Place in 350° oven and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

April 26, 2015 at 10:25 amThis looks very good! I don’t know why Brussel Sprouts have a bad reputation – they are delicious to me! I see you use honey – my own recipe is very similar, but I use a bit of real maple syrup from Vermont (not this artificial “pancake syrup that’s on the shelves.).
