    A year ago, if someone had told me that I would enjoy eating brussels sprouts, I definitely wouldn’t have believed them. I’m not a big fan of brussels sprouts, as you can probably tell by now! I don’t enjoy roasted brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze or honey, so you’ll never see these kinds of recipes on my site. However, there are so many benefits to eating these baby cabbages that I had to figure out how to implement them into my keto meal plan without torturing my taste buds - and I think that I’ve nailed it.

    Step by step directions

    Let me tell you one thing about bacon: you want to use an unsliced piece in this recipe! Why? Because thin strips of bacon are boring and we want our bacon bits to shine through the low carb brussels sprouts in this dish. Just trust me on this!

    Cook the bacon in the cast-iron skillet over a medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until the bacon starts to take on a golden color. If you don’t have a cast-iron pan, you can use a non-stick skillet for this and the next step of the recipe.

    Cut the brussels sprouts in halves, if needed, and add to your bacon. Season everything with freshly ground pepper and cook for another 5 minutes or until the brussels sprouts are slightly browned.

    Step by step how to make one-pan cheesy brussels sprouts with bacon.

    Top our bacon brussels sprouts with the shredded cheese of your choice. I highly recommend using cheeses with a sharp flavor, like cheddar, parmesan cheese, or provolone!

    If you used the non-stick skillet, you need to transfer the brussels sprouts with bacon to a casserole dish first and then top everything with the shredded cheese.

    Pop the cast iron skillet or the casserole dish into the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

    Are brussels sprouts keto

    Brussels sprouts are very high in vitamins K, C, A, and folate. They’re also low in calories and have a high fiber content that feeds your good gut bacteria. But what about carbs? Can I eat then on a low carb diet? And the answer is – YES! 100g of brussels sprouts contain 4g of NET CARBS, which makes them perfect for a keto diet!

    Serving ideas

    This keto brussel sprouts recipe goes well with meat or poultry main dishes. Try to pair it with one of my delicious pork chops or chicken recipes - KETO GARLIC BUTTER PORK CHOPS and OVEN-BAKED LEMON BUTTER CHICKEN THIGHS RECIPE.
