Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe
Description
This recipe involves trimming and halving Brussels sprouts to promote even roasting and flavor absorption. The sprouts are tossed with a neutral cooking oil, black pepper, and finely minced garlic for a subtle pungency. Placed in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, the sprouts are topped with cut strips of bacon, which slowly render and crisp during roasting.
Roasting at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes allows the sprouts to brown deeply, developing a sweet, nutty flavor, while the bacon crisps up to provide a contrasting texture and smoky richness. Mixing halfway through roasting distributes the bacon fat and ensures even caramelization of the sprouts.
This dish complements a range of meals as a savory side where its rich flavor and texture enhance the overall plate. The combination of roasted sprouts and bacon offers a satisfying way to elevate this vegetable.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Brussels sprouts trimmed and cut in half if large
- 2 teaspoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
