I love Brussels sprouts with or without bacon, but there’s no denying it’s a killer combination. And roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon? Swoon… All that caramelization, nuttiness and flavor that develops with the heat in the oven… so much flavor from such little buds. Plus they are tossed with some bacon and red onion and it all roasts together. Serious flavor going on. (Bonus: Brussels sprouts are super nutritious.) Some people may prefer shredded Brussels sprouts — like my balsamic Brussels sprouts. But I think this recipe just might convert you to whole roasted Brussels sprouts. Seriously delicious with all that browning. And bacon. (Plus they’re so much easier to prep this way. You can also check out Air Fryer Brussels sprouts - so easy and they get SO crispy!) I’ve noted below that this recipe serves 4. However, if you are a Brussels sprouts lover like I am - and my wife, too - you may only get 2 servings out of this. And if I’m going to be honest, I will eat the whole thing myself. And I have. The first time I went to photograph this recipe, the light didn’t work out and I scrapped the photos. But oh, I ate all the Brussels sprouts. All of them. Called it lunch and was smacking my lips. And was not at all disappointed to have to re-shoot the recipe another day so I could do it again. Cause I ate them all up this time, too. I know, it’s slightly disturbing. But for normal people out there, this makes a perfect dinner side dish. The Brussels sprouts are rich and nutty with crispy edges, just the way they’re meant to be. Simple, flavorful and irresistible. ❤️ But don’t invite me over because I’ll eat all of them and leave you none. If you’re not already a fan, give Brussels sprouts another go. You will be a convert. Enjoy! XO, Kathryn
