Oma's Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Sides

Ingredients

1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 - 4 slices bacon

salt, pepper

Directions

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.
