Turn what you know about these little green heads upside down because you'll fall in love with these Dijon Bacon Brussels Sprouts with Goat Cheese!

I get it. Brussel sprouts are not one of those commonly loved vegetables. They are often associated with those little soggy green balls with no flavor except something that seems like it died before it made it to your fork. Trust me, though, these are NOT those Brussel sprouts.

In fact, one day, I was eating a bowl of leftovers outside while me and some of the other moms were watching the kids play, and our daughter came up to me asking for a bite. A neighbor was convinced we were crazy to like them but then decided to try them. Our daughter went inside and grabbed a few and put them into a bowl to bring outside for them. Her eleven-year-old was hooked. So now she makes them for her family. All because she thought we were crazy for liking these little heads.

  • Crispy, not soggy!

Okay, let's be honest Brussel sprouts on their own can be boring, but pairing them with a few simple ingredients can make them go from gross to totally yum!

  • Brussel Sprouts
  • Bacon
  • Onion
  • Mushrooms
  • Dijon Mustard - I use 365 Everday Brand from Whole Foods.
  • Coconut Aminios
  • Honey

Tips and Tricks

Roast the Brussels Sprouts

This might seem like an extra step instead of just cooking them in the pan with the rest of the veggies. However, trust me, roasting the Brussels sprouts makes the difference in the final texture of the dish that you won't want to miss. You don't want little mushy balls; you want tender but slightly crisp brussels sprouts.

Add the bacon and goat cheese last

This helps to maintain the crunch and creaminess texture to the dish.

Omit the goat cheese to keep this recipe dairy-free

Or use your favorite dairy-free alternative.

Storing and Reheating

Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

To reheat - I find it best to warm the brussels sprouts in a skillet and then top with additional goat cheese.

I do NOT recommend freezing as it changes the texture of the brussels sprouts, making them more watery.
