Raise your hand if you hate brussels sprouts! Okay, now put it down because I'm about to convert you. People either love them or hate them, and it takes a great recipe to turn the haters. This is most definitely one of those recipes. It is super simple and super delicious. Did I mention the bacon??? These are the only ingredients you'll need:
Clean your brussels sprouts and cut off the hard bottoms. Cut the bigger sprouts in half, unless you have a gigantic mouth. In a baking dish or pan, toss them with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Mix mix mix. Mentally prepare yourself for bacon time. I read somewhere that if you rinse your bacon with water before you cook it, then it won't shrivel up! This recipe sounded like it needed fat, soft bacon, so I rinsed four slices of thick cut bacon in cold water. Then I cut them into inch sized pieces (get out those kitchen scissors!) and scattered them on top of the veggies.
Bake at 400 for half an hour, stirring once halfway through. I put them under the broiler for a couple minutes at the end to give them a teeny bit more crisping.
