Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Parmesan
So you don’t like Brussel sprouts…never have? Well, I am here to change your world! I too didn’t think that there would ever come a day that I would utter these four crazy words either…”I like Brussel sprouts!” I know, I know…I almost cringe when I hear myself say it. But seriously, these rock! Even my kids ate every last one from their plates without a single complaint. If my kids liked them this much, I have no doubt that you will like them! This is where that whole being adventurous thing kicks in…just do it! 😉 There will be no regrets.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. brussels sprouts sliced into thirds
- 2-3 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3-4 bacon slices cooked and crumbled
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Mince garlic and combine with the olive oil in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Cut brussels sprouts into thick slices (I cut each into three)
- Add them to the bowl and toss to coat well.
- Generously salt and pepper stirring to evenly distribute.
- Spread in a single layer on an aluminum foil covered sheet pan. (if you cooked your bacon in the oven, use the same pan, leaving the bacon drippings to combine with the sprouts)
- Roast until lightly golden brown and crispy. Approximately 20 minutes, stirring them half way through.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and return to the oven for 2-3 minutes longer.
- Toss with crumbled bacon and serve.
- Enjoy!
