07of 15Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Garlic & ShallotsJen Causey; Food Styling: Chelsea Zimmer; Prop Styling: Audrey DavisGarlic, bacon and shallots are all you need to add intense flavor to Brussels Sprouts in this 5-ingredient recipe. To trim Brussels sprouts, simply cut off the stem end and halve. If they’re large, you can quarter them, just making sure the Brussels sprouts are cut into uniform pieces so that they’ll cook evenly. If you don’t want to discard the leftover bacon drippings, carefully transfer to a heatproof container, cool, and store in the fridge. You can use it as a replacement for any other cooking oil or fat.View recipe

14of 15Melting Sweet Potatoes with Herbs & GarlicThis savory spin on sweet potatoes uses earthy herbs and aromatics to help cut through the sweetness of the spuds, creating a beautifully balanced dish. Leaving the skins on helps the sweet potatoes retain some texture after being roasted, but they work just as well peeled. Look for sweet potatoes that are similar in diameter, which will help them cook at the same rate, and try smoked paprika instead of sweet to give them even more of a savory edge.View recipe
