These delicious Bacon Parmesan Brussels Sprouts wrap up the last side dish to my Thanksgiving meal I made. I included my 3 favorites - Creamy Green Bean Casserole, Low Calorie Pumpkin Pie and Cauliflower Mash.
These brussels sprouts are so yummy, full of flavor and roasted to absolute perfection. Plus, it comes with all the nutritional benefits that are included in fresh veggies. Trust me, even if someone says they don't like brussels sprouts, they will be asking you for this recipe.
One thing I am always trying to do is get everyone to eat more veggies! They are packed with vitamins A, C, and K, have tons of antioxidants and great for volume eating. They are also a great source of iron and fiber as well.
While if eating plain veggies is what you like, then do you but I like to make them more enjoyable for myself. You may say "Janelle, these have bacon and parmesan in this dish, is it really still healthy?" Listen, we are working on balance and balance means if I am eating brussels sprouts, I am eating the bacon and parmesan too.
The great thing about brussels sprouts is that it can take on so many different flavors. For example, you can do it with a creamy dijon, spicy sriracha, honey balsamic, sweet chili and so much more.
Personally, I like my brussels sprouts crispy. I love the little pieces that flake off and get somewhat burnt. In order to achieve this, you need to heat your cast iron to high heat. Once it is smoking hot, add in your oil and then your brussels. Now, take some tongs and make sure they are all flipped over on their flat side. Stir them and let them sit for a few more minutes before putting them in the oven.
In a bowl, mix together your brussels, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Add back into the over for 10-15 minutes. Let cool and then enjoy!
