Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 4 slices Low sodium bacon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the root ends and removing any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut the larger sprouts in half to ensure even cooking.
Slice the low sodium bacon into small pieces, roughly 1/2 inch in width.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, olive oil, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle the bacon pieces evenly over the sprouts.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and the bacon is crispy.
Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the Brussels sprouts and bacon with balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, keeping in mind the objective of maintaining low sodium levels.
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful low sodium Brussels sprouts with bacon!
