Description
A simple and flavorful dish combining roasted Brussels sprouts with crispy bacon for a savory side dish that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Scatter the diced bacon over the Brussels sprouts.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sprouts are tender and the bacon is crispy.
- Drizzle with balsamic vinegar before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Trim the tough ends of the Brussels sprouts for even cooking.
- For extra crispiness, you can broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
- Using thick-cut bacon yields better texture and flavor.
- Ensure sprouts are dry after washing to prevent steaming.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; use two if necessary for crispier results.
