Equipment
- Baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved or quartered
- 6 slices cooked bacon chopped
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter divided (2 tbsp for roasting, 1 tbsp for finishing)
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- ¼ tsp black pepper or to taste
- Table salt only if needed after tasting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Trim the dry stem ends and remove damaged outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Halve medium sprouts lengthwise through the core and quarter very large sprouts. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons melted butter and black pepper. Arrange cut-side down in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for approximately 15 minutes, checking for browning and tenderness. Cooking time will vary depending on the baking sheet and size of the sprouts.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic over the Brussels sprouts near the end of roasting. Continue cooking briefly until fragrant, taking care not to scorch the garlic.
- Remove from the oven and immediately toss with the crispy cooked bacon and remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
- Taste before adding table salt. Serve warm.
