Roasted Brussels Sprouts

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!

How to Make Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon
If you’ve never made roasted Brussels sprouts before, you’re in for a real treat. Roasting vegetables at a high temperature causes them to caramelize, adding incredible flavor with very little work. Just simply toss with seasonings, onion, and garlic on a pan and add your bacon.
I sometimes just toss all of the ingredients into a bowl with a lid or a freezer bag and store in the fridge until ready to roast for an easy ONE pan dish!
How to Roast Brussel Sprouts
Roasted Brussel Sprouts can be made quickly and easily. While this recipe adds bacon, onions and garlic, you can certainly roast brussels sprouts with very simple ingredients and get amazing results.
Roast and enjoy. Truly so simple and so good!
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Wash and trim your brussels sprouts. Cut in half if they are large.
- Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Roast 25-30 minutes or until tender and caramelized.
Can you Roast Frozen Brussel Sprouts?
Yes you can but the results won’t be quite the same since frozen brussels sprouts are already softened. You’ll want to roast them from frozen about 40 minutes or so. I sometimes give them a quick broil to add some color at the end.
To make these Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts, follow the recipe below. So simple, yet so incredibly delicious… this recipe, found in The Simple Kitchen cookbook will be one side dish your family requests time and again!
