Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2 - 3 slices thick bacon or 4 - 5 slices of thin diced* and not lean
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- good quality thick balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Cut brown ends off sprouts and peel outer discolored leaves.
- Slice them in half from bottom to top and place in a cast iron skillet along with the diced bacon and salt and pepper. If your bacon is lean, drizzle in a tablespoon or two of olive oil and toss to coat.
- Roast for 45 to 50 minutes, shaking pan or stirring with spoon at least once while roasting for even browning.
- Drizzle with a good quality, thick balsamic vinegar.
Notes
*This recipe works if using pork bacon. If using a lean bacon like turkey bacon, you will need to drizzle in a tablespoon or two of olive oil.
