Bacon Brussels Sprouts is surprisingly easy to make and one of my favorite dishes, especially in the fall. I am a firm believer that bacon really does make anything better, and this vegetable recipe is no exception.

A simple recipe for Bacon Brussel Sprouts made with a simple marinade in your oven. A great, tasty side dish!

 

I did not make Brussels sprouts a lot when I was younger, but recently, they have become popular and served in many unique ways. They can look a bit intimidating if you have never had them. I never had these as a kid, so as an adult, I always thought of them as little cabbages. It is believed that they got their name from being popular in Brussels, Belgium.  The most difficult part about Brussel sprouts is cleaning the, and trust me, it is not very difficult.

You can buy Brussels spouts on the stalk, but in most grocery stores, they are without the stalk. By rinsing them in a bowl of warm water, you will clean them and rid them of the dirt and other things that might be in the leaves.

Wash the brussel sprouts with cold water.

 

Next you need to trim the leaves. Just like you would a cabbage or lettuce, you want to remove the outer leaves that are exposed to the elements.

Once they are cleaned and seasoned, they can be baked in the oven.

Adding bacon to brussel sprouts is a great way to make them special!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
