Sweet and Savory Bacon Brussels Sprouts

Amanda Hawkins · October 24, 2017 ·

Even better than bacon: the surprising ingredient is dried cranberries.

What You’ll Need:
1 pound Brussels sprouts, cleaned and halved
4 slices bacon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 large shallot
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Salt and pepper

What to Do:
Preheat oven to 400°F.

Prep your ingredients: Clean and halve your Brussels sprouts, thinly slice the shallot, and dice your bacon.

Cover a baking sheet with Brussels sprouts and bacon. Bake for 10 minutes.

Remove from oven and gently toss. Add salt for taste. Roast for another 10 minutes.

Remove from oven again and add brown sugar and shallots. Toss together and roast for a final 10 minutes.

Remove from oven and add dried cranberries. Season with more salt and pepper and serve!

NY Common Pantry 
@NYCommonPantry reduces hunger and promotes dignity, health, and self-sufficiency throughout New York City. In 2020, NYCP distributed over 6.2 million meals to those in need. NYCP's support and services include distribution of fresh produce and groceries, nutrition education, and case management to help participants find housing and other vital services.  www.nycommonpantry.org.

Meals on Main Street
Meals on Main Street / @CaritasPC 's focus is on feeding people, and their programs are designed to meet their clients' needs in a variety of ways, from pop-up pantries to home deliveries, with the help of over 500 active volunteers. Meal on Main Street began making deliveries to homes at the start of the pandemic with a list of 70 families. By the end of 2020, the list had grown to 90 and then early in 2021, to 110 families. They believe this will continue to be one aspect of their service to the community, serving those who are shut-in, quarantined, or elderly. https://www.mealsonmainst.org/ 

Food Pantry at the Children's Museum of the East End 
After learning that 80% of families in its outreach programs were laid off last spring, the Children’s Museum of the East End in Bridgehampton, NY, launched a food pantry that is now serving over 75 families each week. In addition to addressing food insecurity, @cmee provides vulnerable families with emotional support and hope for the future. www.CMEE.org
Add this sheet pan flounder parmesan into this wee Add this sheet pan flounder parmesan into this week's meal rotation for all the flavor and almost zero the clean up. Our responsibly sourced, wild-caught flounder from our partner Icemar in Iceland pairs perfectly with a cheesy crust and juicy roasted tomatoes. 

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, toss in 2 containers cherry tomatoes, 4 tbsp olive oil, 6 sprigs thyme, salt and pepper. Let sit 10 minutes, then transfer to a foil-lined sheet. Working in same bowl, coat 4 flounder fillets with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Fold each fillet in half lengthwise and arrange next to tomatoes on sheet. Combine 1/2 c grated Parmesan, 1/2 c panko, and 2 tbsp olive oil in same bowl, then sprinkle evenly over tops of fish on sheet (any extra can go on the tomatoes). Roast 12 mins; if crumbs need more browning, finish under broiler.
