Roasted Brussels Sprouts Beef (Printable)

Crispy roasted Brussels sprouts combined with savory beef bacon and a hint of herbs and spices.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

02 - 4 oz beef bacon, diced

03 - 2 tbsp olive oil

04 - 1/2 tsp kosher salt

05 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

06 - 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)

07 - 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

08 - 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (omit for dairy-free)

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using) until well coated.

03 - Spread the Brussels sprouts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Scatter diced beef bacon over the top.

04 - Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until Brussels sprouts are golden and beef bacon is crisp.

05 - Remove from oven. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot.

01 -

The beef bacon adds a smoky depth that regular bacon can't quite achieve, making it feel special without much effort
Roasting transforms Brussels sprouts into something addictive, with crispy edges and tender centers

02 -

Crowding the pan creates steam instead of crisp edges, so give the sprouts room to breathe
That stir halfway through is nonnegotiable for even browning on both cut sides

03 -

Letting the sprouts air dry after washing helps them crisp up better in the oven
Cutting larger sprouts into quarters ensures they cook at the same rate as the smaller halves
