Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon merge the goodness of tender roasted Brussels sprouts along with the indulgence of crisp smoky bacon and loads of sweet garlic.
Brussels sprouts always make the top of my favorite veggie list! I love them baked, roasted, boiled and they’re even amazing raw in a Brussels Sprout Salad!
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Growing up, Brussels sprouts were always served with butter and breadcrumbs and as much as we love them cooked that way, roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon take the flavors to a whole new level.
Roasted Brussels sprouts are so easy to prepare; they are the perfect side to pretty much any meal (and even better with bacon). I know they’re going to become a staple side at your dinner table!

Apart from being ridiculously cheap and oh-so-pretty, brussels sprouts are very healthy too. If you like to eat them, you’re one lucky person.
