Description
A delightful side dish that combines savory, smoky flavors with crunchy textures. Crispy and caramelized Brussels sprouts enhanced by the addition of bacon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half.

- Chop the bacon into small pieces and add to the bowl. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer.

- Remove from the oven and serve warm.
Notes
For extra crispiness, leave some space between the sprouts and bacon on the baking sheet. Substitute bacon with a lighter alternative if desired.
