Brussels Sprouts are a favorite winter vegetable that we enjoy very much, especially when we roast them with bacon. This recipe is super easy to make and oh, so delicious! It is so easy that I would not even call this cooking.
If you are one of these people who do not like Brussels sprouts, I might be able to convert you after you try this recipe. It is also a versatile one, because you could dress ip up or down the way you want it. You can make it for holidays and throw some dry cranberries on top and/or some walnuts or pecans transforming the dish in an elegant one, or you could just make it the way we make it today and have it for dinner just like this.
No matter how you cook these Brussels sprouts, you are here for a treat! Serve them with this awesome roasted bacon wrapped pork tenderloin, or go and check out my other side dishes that you can make for dinner.
