Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Applewood Smoked Bacon

With fall in full swing, it’s sadly time to start cleaning out the garden. 

Our first task – well, Frog Prince’s first task – was to pick our Brussels sprouts!  It was no small feat… look at the size of these plants!

We ended up with about 4 C of Brussels sprouts, and roasted them with applewood smoked bacon. 

It was a great side dish for a fall BBQ!

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Applewood Smoked Bacon

Ingredients

• 4 C Brussels sprouts
• 1/2 C diced, cooked applewood smoked bacon
• Olive oil

Directions

Begin by washing the Brussels sprouts and trimming the base off, as needed.  Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil. 

Arrange the Brussels sprouts on a foil-lined roasting tray.  Roast at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, tossing after 10 minutes. 

Then, toss in the 1/2 C cooked bacon. 

Continue roasting for another 5-7 minutes until veggies are crisp tender. 

Serve warm.
