Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Toasted Pecans, and Dried Cranberries
What’s more perfect for the holidays than a delicious roasted brussels sprouts dish? My favorite winter vegetable paired with the seasonal flavors of dried cranberries and toasted pecans and the most delicious Alessi Organic Balsamic Vinegar, does it get any better?
Whether you’re whipping this up for Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, or Christmas, this one is sure to be a crowd pleaser! And if anyone is meat-free, you can easily skip the bacon! Trust me, it’s still delicious. My family is half vegans/vegetarians and half meat eaters, so I like to make half and half.

- De-stem and halve the brussels sprouts, toss with the avocado oil, Alessi Himalayan Pink Salt and Black Pepper, and spread out on a baking sheet.
- Cut the bacon into pieces about 1” thick, and mix with the brussels sprouts.
- Cook the brussels sprouts and bacon in a preheated 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until the brussels sprouts are slightly browned and crispy and the bacon is cooked.
- In the meantime, toast the pecans in a pan on the stovetop over medium high heat for about 3-5 minutes. You'll start to smell them toasting and want to remove them before they start to burn.
- Mix the toasted pecans and dried cranberries into the cooked brussels sprouts.
- Drizzle the mixture with the Alessi Organic Balsamic Vinegar and season with some more Alessi Himalayan Pink Salt and Black Pepper.
- Serve and enjoy!
