🧂 Ingredients

1.5 lb. brussels sprouts

about 20, cut in half
2 slices thick cut bacon
¼ cup dried cranberries
2 small sweet potatoes

peeled & cut into cubes
⅛ cup pine nuts
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1 Add brussels sprouts and sweet potato to a large bowl and toss in cinnamon,
nutmeg and salt.
2 In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon for for 3-4 minutes on each side

a nice char on the sprouts and potatoes and they are cooked through. Remove from
heat.

fragrant. Remove from heat.
5 Chop up the bacon into small pieces and toss in with the sprouts and potatoes.
Then, add in cranberries and pine nuts. Stir to combine. Remove from heat and
serve. Enjoy!
