Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

This is a recipe I've been making for years (at my family's request) for Thanksgiving, although I do make it year-round, especially when fresh brussels sprouts are in season.  You can certainly use frozen, but make sure you thaw them completely first.

2 lbs of brussels sprouts, outer leaves removed, large ones halved, small ones left whole
3/4 lb. of bacon, thinly sliced crosswise
olive oil
1 T chopped fresh rosemary
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and spread on a shallow baking sheet. Roast in a 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes, then give everything a stir and redistribute into an even layer. Return to oven and cook for another 20 minutes or so, until brussels sprouts are caramelized and bacon is cooked.

Enjoy!

  1. I guess I should have mentioned that you should use just enough olive oil to coat the veggies...best to do it before you add the bacon.
