Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 4 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and trim the ends. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Place the diced bacon pieces in a skillet over medium heat and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on a paper towel. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, the reserved bacon grease, chopped garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, cut side down for optimal browning.
Roast the Brussels sprouts in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once the Brussels sprouts are golden and caramelized, remove them from the oven and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Toss well to coat.
Sprinkle the crispy bacon pieces over the roasted Brussels sprouts. If desired, top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Serve immediately as a savory side dish or enjoy as a tasty snack!
