Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil use 1 tablespoon if adding bacon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 slices bacon chopped, optional
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper if you like.
  2. Toss the Brussels sprouts with the oil, salt and pepper on the pan.
  3. Scatter the bacon over the pan, if using. Arrange the sprouts cut side down in a single layer.
  4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once after 15 minutes, until the sprouts are deeply browned and tender and the bacon is crisp.
  5. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze, if using, and serve right away.

Notes

  • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan or red pepper flakes before serving.
  • Roast a chopped apple with the sprouts for a little sweetness.
  • Very large sprouts can be quartered so everything cooks evenly.
