Ingredients
- 1 bunch of fresh Brussels sprouts
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. course black pepper
- 1 tsp. soy sauce
- 4 slices bacon, diced
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rinse Brussels sprouts and cut each one in half. Place on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Drizzle with soy sauce. Distribute the bacon evenly over the Brussels sprouts. Drizzle evenly with olive oil. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking.
Slice them in half and put on a foil-lined baking sheet that's been sprayed with non-stick spray.
Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper and soy sauce. Go lightly on the salt as the soy sauce and bacon are salty. If you have issues with salt, you may want to cut the salt back even more and use reduced sodium soy sauce and bacon.
I cut the bacon fairly small.
Drop the bacon evenly over the Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with olive oil. I started out with about a teaspoon of olive oil, but I found that even with the bacon, the brussel sprouts were drying out and sticking. So, I added some more olive oil during the roasting process. Just keep your eye on them, stirring and adding olive oil if needed. Don't lower the oven temperature. They need to cook at high heat to get the caramelization that makes them so delicious.
