Servings: 4 serves
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound large brussels sprouts washed, halved, ends cut off
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 400˚F and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Mix it all together. Combine the Brussels sprouts, bacon, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl; toss to coat evenly.
- Bake. Spread the contents of the mixing bowl on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the brussel sprouts for 30 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally for even cooking.
- Finish and serve. Remove your brussel sprouts with bacon from the oven and taste for salt and pepper. Adjust to taste and serve.
Notes
- Pick large, bright green Brussels sprouts with tight leaves. Try to choose similar-sized sprouts for even cooking.
- Avoid overlapping the sprouts on the pan - spread them out in just one layer. Use multiple baking sheets if needed.
- Stir the Brussel sprouts and bacon once or twice while roasting.
