Brussels Sprouts With Guanciale
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1⁄4 pound guanciale, cut into 1⁄4-inch-thick lardons
2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1⁄4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus additional for finishing
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the guanciale and cook until the edges start to brown, about 5 minutes.
3. Drain half the fat from the pan. Add the brussels sprouts to the skillet with the guanciale and toss to coat. Season with the salt and pepper.
4. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until sprouts are tender, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with additional salt to taste and serve immediately.
