Ingredients
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts washed, trimmed and sliced in half
- 5 Tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 Tablespoon water
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 lices Bacon
- 1 Tablespoons bacon fat
- 1/2 cup pecans, toasted and finely chopped
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 500 degrees.
- Toss Brussels sprouts, 3 Tablespoons olive oil, water, salt and pepper in large bowl until sprouts are well coated. Transfer sprouts to rimmed baking sheet and arrange so cut sides are facing down.
- Cover sheet tightly with foil and roast for 10 minutes.
- Remove foil and continue to cook until Brussels sprouts are well browned and tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- While sprouts are roasting, cook bacon in a 10" skillet until crisp, about 7-10 minutes.
- Remove bacon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Reserve 1 Tablespoon bacon fat. When cool enough to handle, finely chop bacon.
- In a skillet, or in the oven, toast pecans until they are golden and fragrant. When cool, chop.
- Toss cooked Brussels sprouts with 1 Tablespoon reserved bacon fat, 2 Tablespoon olive oil, chopped bacon, and chopped pecans. Season to taste.
Notes
- If you are using loose Brussels sprouts, chose sprouts that are about 1 1/2" long.
- Quarter sprouts longer than 2 1/2".
- Don't cut sprouts shorter than 1".
