1.5poundbrussels sprouts- trimmed and shaved thin
4slicesbacon- diced and partially cooked
3Tablespoonsolive oil
salt and pepper- to taste
1teaspoonred pepper flakes- optional
1/4cupshredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Prepare brussels sprouts. Trim and remove outer layers. Slice in half, and then finely slice each half.
Place shredded Brussels sprouts on baking sheet.
Dice bacon, and microwave to par-cook them. I microwaved them for about three minutes. Add bacon to pan.
Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until you start seeing brown bits on top. Remove and add parmesan cheese to top. Bake for another two minutes or so.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Pro Tip: 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.
You could use more bacon, of course.
Red pepper flakes give this a perfect little kick, but could be omitted, if preferred.
