Brussel Sprouts and Bacon Bake

For those who don’t like brussel sprouts, try them this way. Super savory and delicious, who doesn’t love bacon, am I right?? As like most my recipes, does not require a ton of ingredients and just takes 10 mins to toss together. This recipe is more designed as an appetizer or as a side dish, however I have eaten this entire thing in one sitting by myself. If you plan to serve it as an entree to more than 2 people, I would consider increasing the ingredients by 1 per 2 people.

When I cut the bacon, I typically cut it into thin strips so it cooks quickly in the oven. You can make them smaller or bigger if you’d like, but I personally like my bacon crispy.

Lay out the bacon and sprouts, add your oil and toppings, and spread it out on a cookie sheet so everything is in an one layer so it cooks evenly.

Ingredients

16 oz(1 lb) of Brussel Sprouts
1-3 Strips of Bacon(Adjust as needed)
1-2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon of Garlic
Salt and Pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees(F), line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
2. Cut the brussel sprouts in half and chop the bacon into bite size pieces.
3. Line the sprouts and bacon in one layer on the cookie sheet, add the olive oil, garlic and salt & pepper.
4. Mix all the ingredients together on the sheet with your hands, add more oil or seasonings as desired.
5. Bake for 25 mins or under the sprouts are charred and tender when peirced with a fork.

Enjoy, I like to put mine into a Le Creuset dish after it’s done cooking.
