Preheat the oven to 375°F and cut the ends off of each brussels sprout, it’s too tough. Then cut each in half, or even in quarters if they’re very big.
Throw them in a deep bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper and any other spices you like. We sometimes toss them in red pepper and cumin!
Pour them out onto a greased baking sheet making sure to leave a little bit a room between them. They don’t all need to be on the same side, they’ll all roast up nicely even if they look messy on that sheet.
Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Halfway through, reach in to the oven and give the baking sheet a good shake so that the brussels sprouts rotate a little.
While the brussels sprouts are baking, fry up as much bacon as you’d like. We use 2 pieces for each person we’re feeding.
When the bacon is cooked to your liking, chop it up into small pieces, roughly a half inch big, You want them bite sized.
When the brussels sprouts have shriveled a bit and blackened, they’re ready! Take them out of the oven and toss them in the same deep bowl with the bacon bits.
Serve onto plates and give one last sprinkle of salt! Enjoy!
