Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 150 grams Bacon
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly, trim the ends, and remove any wilted outer leaves. Cut larger sprouts in half for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 15 minutes.
While the sprouts are roasting, chop the bacon into small pieces and cook in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Once the Brussels sprouts have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the crispy bacon pieces evenly over the sprouts.
Top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring even coverage across the sprouts.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden spots.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy bacon Brussels sprouts!
