Sweet & Savory Holiday Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Dates & Pecans

In a skillet, heat a little avocado oil with the minced garlic. Add in the chopped brussels sprouts and brown for 7-10 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes. Once the brussels sprouts are crispy, place the skillet back on the stove on low heat and add in the remaining ingredients: cooked bacon, chopped California dates, maple syrup, and pecans. Remove from stove and serve alongside your favorite holiday meal or enjoy directly from the bowl.
