Brussels sprouts are often paired with bacon for that hint of smokiness, which helps to counteract the slightly bitter taste of this veggie. Instead of adding some type of meatless bacon, today’s recipe makes use of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Chipotle peppers have a distinct smoky flavor (as well as some heat!) and really help to infuse the sprouts with that desired savory kick.
