This is an amazing vegetarian side dish. Roasting the Brussels sprouts gives them a great smoky flavor. They are great hot or room temperature. You can top them with a small drizzle of balsamic vinegar or Parmesan cheese if you like.
Ingredients
- 1 pound (approximately 4 cups) Brussels sprouts
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 turkey bacon slices, cut into ¼ inch pieces and cooked until crispy (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425º F.
- Clean and trim Brussels sprouts. Cut any very large heads in half through the core. Tip: Save the outer leaves that fall off and bake those along with the rest of the sprouts, they get extra crispy and are delicious!
- Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt and pepper. Toss to evenly coat.
- Pour the Brussels sprouts onto a large sheet pan in a single layer.
- If you are including the turkey bacon, evenly sprinkle the cooked bacon pieces over the Brussels sprouts.
- Roast in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time, until lightly browned.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
