Tantalize your taste buds with a symphony of flavors in this delectable dish of oven-roasted Brussels sprouts, perfectly complemented by the natural sweetness of Mission figs and the savory crunch of bacon. Roasted to golden-brown perfection, the Brussels sprouts caramelize, bringing out their nutty flavor, while the figs add a touch of sweetness and a delightful chewy texture. Crispy bacon adds a salty-smoky element, creating a harmonious balance of flavors in every bite. This recipe also includes variations for a vegetarian option, using tempeh or halloumi cheese instead of bacon, and a vegan version, substituting plant-based bacon and nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.

Tips:
- Choose small and fresh Brussels sprouts: Smaller ones tend to be more tender and flavorful. Look for firm, deep green sprouts without any signs of yellowing or wilting.
- Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end and any discolored outer leaves. Then, halve the Brussels sprouts lengthwise.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a crispy exterior. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) before roasting.
- Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them roast evenly and develop flavor.
- Add flavorful ingredients: In addition to olive oil, salt, and pepper, you can add other ingredients to the Brussels sprouts before roasting. Some popular choices include bacon, dried figs, nuts, and cheese.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts until they are tender and slightly charred: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes. Shake the pan halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.
- Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately: They are best enjoyed hot out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Oven-roasted Brussels sprouts are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their slightly sweet and nutty flavor, Brussels sprouts are a great addition to any meal.
