How to cook deliciously - Southern-Style Brussels Sprouts with Lardons

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Cut bacon into 1/4-inch thick strips (lardons).

2 . Stage

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon lardons and cook until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove skillet from the heat and transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve bacon drippings in the skillet.

While the Brussels sprouts are cooking, heat the skillet with the remaining bacon drippings over medium heat. Add onions and saute slowly until caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove Brussels sprouts from the oven and add to the skillet with corn and thyme. Stir until combined and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
