Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts With Bacon

Growing up the only memories I have of brussels sprouts are ones that were boiled and barely seasoned. Since then I’ve discovered the keys that make brussels sprouts delicious and flavorful every time! For me seasoning is non-negotiable. I always use bacon because the added smokiness and salt takes brussels to the next level while also adding nice texture.

Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts Recipe

The key to making the best brussels sprouts is to roast them so you get a golden brown and caramelized exterior with a tender interior. This creates an amazing textural base for the bacon and balsamic flavors to shine through!

How To Make Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Oven roasted brussels sprouts with bacon are so easy to make in a few simple steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss all ingredients together on the lined baking sheet and spread out evenly in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring the brussels about halfway into cooking.

Once golden and fork tender you can remove the brussels or if you like crispy edges like I do you can switch the oven to broil and watch them for 3-5 minutes. (Definitely watch them to avoid burning since each oven broils at a different speed.) Serve immediately or cool and then store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days for meal prep.

How Long To Roast Brussels Sprouts

The cooking time varies on this whole30 side dish depending on the size of the brussels sprouts, but medium sized sprouts roast for about 25-30 minutes. At this point the sprouts should be tender on the inside and golden on the outside. For a crispy exterior, after the roasting time ends switch your oven from bake to broil and watch them for 3-5 minutes until they reach your desired crispiness.

      Hi Donna, great question. No, the raw bacon will cook with the brussels on the sheet pan.

    How would the recipe change if my Brussel sprouts are frozen in a bag? Thaw first? Roast longer?

      Hi Becky! I’d recommend thawing the brussels first so everything can cook together on the sheet pan. Enjoy!
