Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Brussels Sprouts Washed, ends trimmed and halved.
- 4 slices Center Cut Bacon cut into small pieces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Kosher Salt to taste
- freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare your sprouts - wash them and remove outer loose leaves, then trim off the ends and cut them in half. Put the prepared sprouts into a large bowl. Cut up your bacon into small pieces and add to the sprouts.
- In a small bowl combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and garlic. Stir or whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture over the sprouts and bacon and toss to coat.
- Pour the Brussels sprouts onto the lined baking sheet and spread in a single layer, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place the baking sheet onto the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring half way through. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Keep an eye on your sprouts after the first 20 minutes of roasting. Brussels Sprouts can vary in size, which means cooking times can vary. I cooked mine for 25 minutes. I like them to have a little char and for the bacon to be crispy. Cook them to your liking.
