This version of shredded brussels sprouts with bacon and pecans might be the perfect Thanksgiving side dish, and can be made ahead to save you T-day stress.
Toss the sprouts in the pan, season with a pinch of kosher salt, and cook in the bacon fat over medium heat until they soften and begin to brown in spots, about 4-6 minutes. Sprinkle in the garlic and thyme, and cook for another 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the nuts and the reserved bacon, pour in the maple syrup, and give a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Reviews
Molly on 2019-10-14 (5 stars): Making it right now to serve with buttered carrots and baked corn beef. Husband did not want cabbage but we both love Brussels sprouts.
Usually hard to find corn beef other than at Easter. I was lucky to find it in October!
Stephanie on 2016-01-07 (5 stars): I made this tonight for dinner with oven-BBQ chicken and roasted red potatoes. Delicious sprouts!
Victoria on 2014-11-14 (5 stars): Perfect timing, Emily. I am responsible for the Brussels sprouts this year. This recipe looks perfect.
XO, Victoria
