Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe
Description
The Roasted Brussels Sprouts recipe involves trimming and halving fresh Brussels sprouts, then tossing them with olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to distribute seasoning evenly. The sprouts are spread in a single layer to promote even roasting. Chopped cooked bacon is sprinkled atop before baking, infusing the dish with smoky, meaty flavors.
Baking at 400°F ensures the edges of the Brussels sprouts become golden and slightly crisp while the interiors remain tender. The bacon's inclusion adds a textural and flavor complement, enhancing the overall taste.
This dish serves well as a side to many meals, bringing brightness from the olive oil and a smoky note from bacon. Using pre-cooked bacon recommended for crispness, though raw thin strips can be used if preferred.
Ingredients
- 2 lb Brussels sprouts
- 4 oz Bacon chopped, cooked
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Trim Brussels sprouts and cut them in half, lengthwise.
- Season Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine everything together.
- Lay Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in one layer and sprinkle on the chopped cooked bacon if using.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges start turning golden brown.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked bacon for crispy texture; raw thin strips can be used but will render differently.
- Ensure Brussels sprouts are spread in a single layer for even roasting.
- Adjust salt to taste after roasting if desired.
