Why I love Brussel Sprouts with Bacon and Garlic?

While Brussel sprouts taste good on their own, adding bacon and garlic adds just the right flavors to compliment. Frying the bacon and steaming the Brussel sprouts may take a little time, but the result is a delicious blend of flavors that go well with almost any meal. It’s nutritious too!

Are Brussels sprouts better steamed or boiled?

Boiling Brussels sprouts will cause them to lose much of their nutritive value. It may also cause a loss of flavor as well. Steaming allows vegetables to retain much of their flavor and almost all of their nutrients. A few minutes in the steamer should take care of the majority of the cooking. Once you add the bacon and garlic, allow it to cook for a short time so that all of the flavors have a chance to blend together.
