Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 4 slices Bacon
- 0.5 cup Pistachios
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the stems off the Brussels sprouts, remove any damaged outer leaves, and slice them in half lengthwise.
Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a mixing bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to coat evenly.
Spread the Brussels sprouts out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once midway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
Roughly chop the pistachios and the cooked bacon into small pieces.
Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, transfer them to a large serving bowl.
Add the chopped bacon and pistachios to the roasted Brussels sprouts and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
Toss everything together gently to combine, and serve warm.
