Some Brussels sprouts recipes call for bacon, but here's a little secret: you can use rendered bacon fat instead, which will impart the same flavor and aroma. If you're frying bacon for breakfast (or another dish), don't discard the rendered fat. Strain it through a coffee filter or similar to remove any foreign bits that could burn, and use it to roast the flavorful Brussels sprouts. They'll be incredibly crispy and delicious.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Slice the Brussels sprouts lengthwise into thirds. It's okay if some of the outer leaves fall off. Don't throw them away; they'll roast beautifully in the oven. Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a bowl, add the rendered bacon fat, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and toss to combine. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until the small pieces are crispy, about 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the crispy pieces to a serving platter. Using tongs, flip the remaining Brussels sprouts (turning them individually will ensure maximum crispness). Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake until all the sprouts are golden brown and crispy, another 5 to 10 minutes.
