Ingredients
- 2 lbs. Brussels sprouts
- 2 Tablespoons salt
- 6-8 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon white pepper
- 4 Tablespoons honey
Optional Additions
- 5 strips bacon
- 5 cloves garlic
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Clean the brussels sprouts under cool water, I like to use this vegetable spray.
- Important! Dry them completely with a dish towel or paper towels.
- If the bottom of the stem is dirty, thinly slice the tip of each.
- Slice them into halves of equal size. Slice larger ones into quarters.
- Line them onto baking sheets, flat side down. Note: Darker baking sheets cook faster, especially on the outside.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Place in the oven for 15 minutes and remove immediately.
- Flip each brussel sprout over. If some are very dark on the outside of the pan, switch them with a some that are in the middle of the pan for even cooking.
- Place them back in the oven. Note: There is a fine line here between perfectly roasted vs. burnt.
- Check on them every 4 minutes and shake the pan, then continue to roast, until they’re dark green/brown, but not black.
- Drizzle each pan with 2 Tablespoons of honey and use a spoon to toss and coat evenly.
- The sooner you can serve them, the better they’ll taste!

Notes
- Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
- Brussels Sprouts with Garlic
- Bacon adds an additional element of flavor and texture to roasted brussels sprouts.
- It's a good idea to cook the bacon first and reserve the bacon grease to toss with the Brussels Sprouts prior to roasting.
- Roughly chop the bacon and sprinkle it over the brussels sprouts after roasting, just before serving.
- If you choose to add garlic, add about 5 cloves that have been generously tossed in oil and a little salt.
- Add them after the first 15 minutes of cooking, after you've flipped them over.
