Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe
Roasted Brussels Sprouts combine halved sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper, baked until edges brown and caramelize. The addition of chopped cooked bacon adds savory notes and a crispy texture contrast. This straightforward recipe achieves tender centers with crispy exteriors for a satisfying side dish.
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.
