So I was at the local supermarket just browsing the produce section (that just sounds weird typing that) when I came upon a sale for brussel sprouts. This was not the first time I have seen such a sale, but this was the first time that I stopped at one. Trying to be healthier and more culinary adventurous, I decided to try my hand at them since it couldn’t be that hard right? But I knew that in order for them to be really good, I would have to combine it with bacon (obviously) so then I went to the meats section.  For my first time making these, it turned out pretty good. Definitely more enjoyable than I thought since Asian people don’t generally eat brussel sprouts I feel like.

Ingredients

• 12-16 brussel sprouts
• EVOO
• Kosher Salt
• Fresh black pepper
• Crushed red pepper flakes
• Few slices of bacon (who am I to judge how many you use?)
• Shaved parmesan
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
• Cut brussel sprouts length wise and rinse
• In a large bowl mix the EVOO, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic
• Once the sprouts are dry, toss them with the EVOO and spices to evenly coat
• Place them in the oven until tender (~20 minutes)
• Meanwhile, fry the strips of bacon
• After they cool, chop the bacon and toss with roasted brussel sprouts
• Shave a few slices of Parmesan on top and enjoy!
