Instructions
- Microwave the brussels sprouts for 2 minutes or until tender before transferring to a cutting board. Cut them in half once they've cooled.

- Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel, leaving the bacon grease behind.
- Carefully add the brussels sprouts, onion, walnuts, and corn to the cast iron skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the brussels sprouts and onions have developed a slight char.
- Remove from the heat and add the cooked bacon, BBQ sauce, and dried cranberries. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Top with grated pecorino and serve!

Notes
Each serving of brussels sprouts has 3 Smart Points.
*I used a bag of washed and trimmed fresh brussels sprouts. If you use frozen, microwave for about half the time listed on the packaging before halving.
**I used Trader Joe's frozen roasted corn, but you can use any frozen corn. You can also use well drained corn from a can.
