Balsamic Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Shallots

SERVES 4. HANDS-ON TIME: 25 MINUTES. TOTAL TIME: 25 MINUTES.

Caramelized shallots and crispy bacon impart big flavor to these shredded

Brussels sprouts topped with crunchy pumpkin seeds. To make this dish

vegetarian, you can omit the bacon and sauté the shallots in olive oil instead.

To ensure it’s Whole30 compliant, look for bacon that doesn’t contain sugar.
