1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 - 4 slices bacon
salt, pepper
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Clean Brussels sprouts, discarding outer loose leaves. Cut in half.
Put the Brussels sprouts into a plastic bag. Pour in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Shake gently to coat sprouts.
Pour sprouts onto cookie sheet (with a rim) spreading them out into one layer.
Dice bacon and sprinkle over the sprouts.
Roast for 30 - 35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so, until golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside. Any leaves that are loose will be crispy and brown (extra delicious!)
NOTES/HINTS:
For a non-German addition, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes.
