Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

Clean and trim Brussels sprouts and cutting any very large heads in half through the core. (It’s fine if some of the outer leaves fall off – just bake those along with the rest of the sprouts. They get extra crispy and are delicious!)

Step 3

Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil, tossing to evenly coat.

Step 4

Pour the Brussels sprouts onto a large sheet pan (you want them to be in a single layer). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then evenly sprinkle the bacon pieces over the Brussels sprouts.

Step 5

Roast in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time, until golden and lightly caramelized.

Step 6

Serve immediately.
