Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Brussels Sprouts: Select firm, deep green Brussels sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any sprouts with yellowing or wilting leaves.
  • Trim and Clean: Trim the stem end of each Brussels sprout and remove any outer leaves that are damaged or discolored. Wash the sprouts thoroughly under cold water.
  • Cut to Desired Size: Depending on your preference, you can cut the Brussels sprouts in half or quarters. Smaller pieces will cook more quickly.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder works well. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
  • Roast Until Tender: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of Brussels sprouts. Roast them at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • Add Crispy Bacon: Bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor and crispy texture to the dish. Cook the bacon until it is crispy and then crumble it over the roasted Brussels sprouts.
  • Use High-Quality Cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of the dish. Use a good quality cheddar cheese or a blend of cheeses for a richer flavor.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, garnish the cheesy bacon Brussels sprouts with fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or thyme. This adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.

Conclusion:

Cheesy bacon Brussels sprouts are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
