I’ve never been a huge fan of brussels sprouts. I was only exposed to them boiled when I was younger and they were always bitter and mushy. In my efforts to expand my veggie repertoire I’ve started eating them again and I think I have figured out the most delicious way to make them. Roasted with bacon of course!
You’ll need to cook up a pound of bacon first, make sure to reserve the fat for cooking later! You can also cut corners with Hormel Premium Real Crumbled Bacon or leftover bacon. I like to keep the Hormel on hand in the fridge, just to make sure I have bacon within in reach at all times. I pick it up in a larger size at Costco.
Anyway, here’s the recipe!
Ingredients
- Cooked bacon crumbled
- Fresh brussels sprouts
- Olive oil
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Drizzle olive oil over a baking sheet.
Clean as many brussels sprouts as you'd like by cutting off the stem end and then cut in half lengthwise.
Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the brussels sprout to your liking.
Drizzle oilive oil over the sprouts and bacon.
Bake for 30-40 minutes.
