Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon
Brussels Sprouts are quite possibly one of the most misunderstood veggies out there. My dad shares the generalized opinion that they are the most foul tasting vegetable on the planet. His mom wasn’t the greatest cook so I’m told, so a lot of his food was either bland, or came from a can. However, today brussels sprouts are making quite the comeback in the culinary world. And in my opinion, Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon is the best way to enjoy them. A lot of restaurants have them as an appetizer that can cost as much as $15. This is a simple and quick recipe for brussels sprouts that I use often as a paleo side dish and certainly won’t cost you the outrageous restaurant price. I like to make this as a side dish for Herb Roasted Turkey and Gravy.
