Hi all! This is an easy and absolutely delicious vegetable recipe that goes with just about any meal. Here are the ingredients:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 2 slices thick-cut bacon
- olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
First, preheat the oven to 425F. Wash the Brussels sprouts, cut the ends off, and cut the sprouts in half. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for ~15 minutes. While the sprouts are roasting, cook bacon to medium-crispy either in frying pan or in microwave, depending on your preference (we used the microwave to keep the mess to a minimum!).
When the sprouts have roasted for ~15 minutes or until your preferred degree of doneness, remove them from the oven.
Crumble bacon over the top of the Brussels sprouts and turn broiler to high setting. Broil the sprouts and bacon for 3-5 minutes or until the bacon is very browned and crispy.
So easy and delicious! Happy cooking!
We had an interesting discussion about how Brussels sprouts get bashed a lot, but most people have either never tried them or only had them boiled. Time to try new things, folks! They were delicious!
