With fall in full swing, it’s sadly time to start cleaning out the garden.
Our first task – well, Frog Prince’s first task – was to pick our Brussels sprouts! It was no small feat… look at the size of these plants!
We ended up with about 4 C of Brussels sprouts, and roasted them with applewood smoked bacon.
It was a great side dish for a fall BBQ!
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Applewood Smoked Bacon
Ingredients
- 4 C Brussels sprouts
- 1/2 C diced, cooked applewood smoked bacon
- Olive oil
Directions
Begin by washing the Brussels sprouts and trimming the base off, as needed. Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil.
Arrange the Brussels sprouts on a foil-lined roasting tray. Roast at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, tossing after 10 minutes.
Then, toss in the 1/2 C cooked bacon.
Continue roasting for another 5-7 minutes until veggies are crisp tender.
Serve warm.
I LOVE brussels sprouts and roasting is a wonderful way to prepare them. I just bought some (no garden, sigh) so I'm going to make a similar dish this week!
ReplyDeleteGreat dish indeed, love brussells sprouts
ReplyDeleteYUM! I love fresh brussel sprouts - my kids do too, but you really can't go wrong with bacon :)
ReplyDeleteYour brussels sprouts turned out great!! We tried to grow them this year and they just turned into leafy spider egg holders...maybe next year. Random aside: I noticed Frog Prince has a Buffalo t-shirt on. Is that where he is from? That's my hometown :)
ReplyDeleteHe's from Upstate NY... just E of Rochester! We've driven through Buffalo many, many times :)
DeleteYour Brussels Sprouts look great, those were very nice stalks, everything is so much better from the garden. Roasted with the Apple Wood Bacon would give them a fantastic flavor. Hope you are having a great week and thanks for sharing.
