Easy Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

This Easy Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon is one of our favorite side dishes. Just a small bit of bacon adds the perfect salty kick.

I’m a Brussels sprouts lover. But back in the day? Nope, never. I wouldn’t touch them.

How do you turn a Brussels sprouts hater into a lover?

1. Roast them in the oven.
2. Coat them in olive oil.
3. Season them. Salt, pepper, and whatever flavors you like. (Red pepper flakes? yes please.)
4. Add bacon. So much flavor for just a few slices.
5. Add parmesan cheese. Just a little bit is all it takes.

There. You’ve turned your picky eaters into Brussels sprouts LOVERS.

You’re welcome, folks.

I shared my Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes recipe over a year ago, and I’m always surprised to see how many people regularly search it. There are TONS of Brussels sprouts fans out there.

That is a VERY good thing.

Brussels sprouts are low in calories and nutritionally dense. Yes, it’s AAAALLLL good.

In THIS recipe, you…

1. shred the Brussels sprouts,
2. combine them with bacon, olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes,
3. roast them in your oven,
4. add parmesan cheese, and then
5. EAT.

We demolished them. So good and tasty. So healthy.

Make them today.

Side note: I use a sharp knife to slice the Brussels sprouts very thin. You could also use a mandolin, but be careful. I’ve cut myself too many times with that thing, so now I keep it in storage.

Enjoy!
