Pancetta and Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Brussels Sprouts are that stinky, savory dish everyone scoffs at but do they deserve their reputation??? Absolutely not! These pancetta, garlic sprouts will make any skeptic a believer. Nasreen made these for us on her most recent visit to Italy for the harvest and honestly we snacked on them all night like they were candy.
INGREDIENTS
-
- 2 oz pancetta, visible fat discarded and pancetta minced

- Toss together Brussels sprouts, pancetta, garlic, oil, and salt and pepper to taste in an 11- by 7-inch baking pan and spread in 1 layer.
