Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon are fast becoming a favorite vegetable side dish in our house. Brussel sprouts are tossed with a little olive oil and chopped bacon before being roasted in the oven. Made this way, brussel sprouts are a simple and delicious side dish for your weeknight dinner. We know that you will love Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon as much as we do, so give this recipe a try.
I realize that I just posted a recipe for bacon wrapped brussel sprout skewers, but we have been eating lots of brussel sprouts lately. This recipe was actually created because I was too tired after a long day at work to stand around and individually wrap each brussel sprout with bacon. Instead, I chopped up the bacon, and tossed it, along with some olive oil, into the pan with the brussel sprouts before baking them. The brussel sprouts were very tasty. In fact, we liked them better than the skewers.

I’m trying to get hubby to enjoy Brussels sprouts like I do. This recipe sounds like just the thing. Of course, I will need some grated sharp cheddar on top to satisfy him.
Everything tastes better with cheese on it, but I prefer a light sprinkle of Parmesan on my Brussel sprouts.
I agree. Parmesan cheese and brussel sprouts would be a good combination.
My husband is a huge fan of brussel sprouts. I love how easy these are to make!
On a busy day, easy recipes are the best type.
This is one of the best ways to eat brussels sprouts… hands down.
I’m glad that you like it. In my opinion, Brussel Sprouts are an under appreciated vegetable.
Roasted brussels sprouts are always a good idea!
I agree which is a good thing since we were gifted with a 25 pound box of them.
