My Favorite Brussels Sprouts Recipe | Alexis deBoschnek

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked paprika

Turkey bacon reduces fat while adding a smoky flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds umami.

balsamic vinegar

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

💰Cheaper: red wine vinegar

Apple cider vinegar offers a tangy flavor with health benefits.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is heart-healthy.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow leaves.

Cut larger Brussels sprouts in half for even cooking.

Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.

Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Roast in the oven until tender and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.

While the sprouts roast, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy.

Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels, leaving some fat in the skillet.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Once the Brussels sprouts are done, transfer them to the skillet with garlic and toss to combine.

Drizzle with lemon juice and balsamic vinegar, then add crumbled bacon and parmesan cheese.

Toss everything together and serve warm.
