Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Bacon

By adriennehannis

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs of Brussels sprouts
• 2-3 tablespoons of avocado oil, melted lard, or macadamia nut oil
• 4 slices of bacon, diced
• salt and pepper
• aged balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Trim the ends and any old outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. (Don’t throw away the leaves — toss ‘em in a container and keep ‘em in the fridge so you can make some Brussels Sprouts Chips later!)

Cut the sprouts in half and toss them with extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Dump them on a foil lined baking sheet, making sure to keep everything in one layer. Sprinkle the diced bacon over everything and pop the tray in the oven.
