Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, bright green sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any sprouts that are wilted or yellowed.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the bottom of each sprout and remove any yellow or wilted leaves.
  • Halve the Brussels sprouts: For smaller sprouts, you can simply halve them lengthwise. For larger sprouts, you may need to cut them into quarters or even eighths.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy: This will add a delicious smoky flavor to the dish. You can cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes.
  • Roast the Brussels sprouts: Toss the sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast them in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Add the oranges and bacon: Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, add the orange segments and cooked bacon to the pan. Stir to combine and cook for a few minutes more, until the oranges are warmed through.
  • Serve immediately: Brussels sprouts are best served hot. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme.
