Garlic Bacon Aioli
Y’all already know we LOVE roasted Brussels sprouts! This garlic bacon aioli really elevates roasted Brussels sprouts and makes a great healthy appetizer or just a dressed up side for dinner. We tried this recipe tonight and it was tasty, easy and simple! And check back later this week to see the scallop recipe we paired them with!
Darrell recently stumbled upon this website The Real Food Dietitians, and it has already proven to be an excellent resource and inspiration for us with our dietary restrictions! It is easy to navigate and full of awesome recipes. Whether or not you have a special diet, you should check them out!
I have very few notes to add about our experience because it was easy and straightforward but here’s my recap (all regarding ingredients):
I completely forgot we had avocado oil and I just used olive oil. (While this recipe doesn’t require a high roasting temp, avocado oil is great because it has a higher smoke point than olive oil so it’s great to have on hand if you like to roast or cook at high temps!)
I used the optional horseradish mustard - I would use it if you have it, I think it’s a nice addition.
As for mayo, we used Hellman’s Light Mayo.
Trader Joe’s Pre-Cooked Bacon for the win, again! Such a time saver. And less mess. I’m a big fan if you haven’t noticed.
Oh and we cut the recipe in half and it was a great amount for us to split, however we did not use the full amount of aioli!
