The fields have spent the whole season bathing in the summer sun, so they are now brimming with a variety of richly-colored and nutrient-dense produce, from squashes and sweet potatoes to apples and pears and everything in between.
There are endless ways to take advantage of those amazing autumn crops. Some of my favorite simple fall side dishes are included here. These are perfect for feeding a crowd or just feeding the family on a busy weeknight. Either way, this recipes is packed to the brim with nutrition, flavor, and vibrant color.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Pine Nuts & Golden Raisins
Ingredients
- 6 ounces bacon, diced small
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- ½ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup pine nuts
- ½ cup dried golden raisins
- 3 tablespoons shaved Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In an oven-safe 12-inch skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve the bacon drippings in the skillet. Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing occasionally, until they start to brown. Remove from the heat and stir in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, tossing at least once. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F, stir in the pine nuts, and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir in the reserved bacon, golden raisins, and cheese. Serve warm.
