- Add oil to a cold sauté pan; place brussels sprouts into pan cut-side down.
- Sprinkle with salt and turn heat to medium-high.
- Cook until brussels sprouts are browned on the cut side. Remove from pan and keep warm.
- In the same pan used for the brussels sprouts, add Black Forest Ham; sauté 1 minute.
- Add pears and sauté for approximately 2 minutes, caramelizing parts of the pears. Toss with chili flakes and remove from heat.
- Crumble candied bacon from the first two steps into enough rustic broken pieces to make 2 tablespoons.
- Combine ham mixture with cooked brussels sprouts and transfer to a serving bowl. Top with candied pecans, candied bacon, and serve immediately.
