Calling for all Brussels sprouts lover! This is a perfect side dish for winter party and very easy to cook. Learned from Gordon Ramsay.
This time, I followed Gordon Ramsay’s recipe to cook Brussels sprouts. It was easy to cook and the ingredients were very simple. You can do it in one pan. I never thought chestnuts would work so well with bacon and Brussels sprouts!

Let’s watch Gordon Ramsay how to make this perfect side dish.
What I Adjust for a Healthier Approach
Gordon Ramsay puts salt in the bacon, I thought won’t it be too salty? So I just added a little salt and pepper to the Brussels sprouts for extra flavour. Besides, bacon is fatty and it will release oil when frying. I didn’t add so much oil when heating the pan.
How Do I Serve It
This recipe is designed for a party’s side dish. I don’t want to wait for any party as I LOVE its taste so much! For an ordinary lunch, I paired it with a creamy beet tortiglioni. The amount of spaghetti was a little less than usual considered we had a starter. For 2 people, I cooked 130 g pasta (I usually cook 160 g).
Ingredients
Serves 2
- 10 Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

How to Make Sauté Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Chestnuts
- Cook the Brussels sprouts in salted water for 2 mins. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 1-2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan and fry the bacon until fragrant. Then add the Brussels sprouts with cutting side facing down. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- When the Brussels sprouts turned golden brown, add chestnuts and lemon zest. Give everything a nice stir-fry. Freshly squeeze in lemon juice before serving.
