Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
This combination of Brussels Sprouts and Bacon is the perfect side dish. It's easy to make, packed with flavor, and a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
- 1/4 cup olive oil (sub: avocado oil)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper (plus more to taste)
- 6 ounces uncured raw bacon, chopped into small pieces (about 5-7 pieces)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Cut the roots off of the Brussels and slice them in half.
- Place the Brussels sprouts in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle uncooked bacon pieces over the sprouts and toss with your hands. Spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure the Brussels sprouts are cut side down.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts for 15 minutes, then shake the pan or flip them. Roast for another 5 minutes or so, until they start to brown and the bacon is crispy. Taste and season with more salt and pepper, as needed. Serve hot.
Notes/Tips
- Peel lots of outer leaves off and let them get charred. These are my favorite part!
- Make sure the Brussels are turned face down and bake them on the lowest rack.
