Bacon-Roasted Brussels Sprouts
By: Not Just Plain Foodstuffs, Inc.Published:
This is my favorite way to prepare Brussels Sprouts. It has everything that is good in the world: Brussels sprouts, salt, smoked black peppercorn, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and of course, BACON!
I use smoked black peppercorn in place of regular black peppercorn pretty much every chance I get.. the stuff is heavenly, what can I say?
The olive oil I used for this recipe is a home-made black garlic-infused kalamata olive oil; I highly recommend you keep a few infused olive oils on-hand for an extra subtle hint of flavor.
