I love to cook (when I’m in the mood)!
Simple food.
Tasty food.
Things that doesn’t require 25 steps and never before heard of ingredients.
This may sound weird …
but I love these brussels sprouts as a snack. They are also the perfect side dish for steak, pork or chicken.
They fill me up and doesn’t everything taste better with bacon?
No carbs, tastes great, baked with a few simple ingredients – what’s better than that?

These look great!! I’m going to give a go, for sure. Yummy! Thank you, Kelly.

Did you know I’ve never cooked brussel sprouts before Kelly?we don’t have this in my home country, so I only go to taste them here in the U.S., this will be my first bruseel sprouts recipe!
Brussel sprouts are one of my favorites and this looks really good. I love bacon but sprouts being cooked are verboten at that house when the hubs is home – can’t stand the smell. He will be gone all day on Saturday this week and so……….I will be making this recipe!
We love brussel sprouts! Normally I roast them with garlic, but this looks soo good & EASY! Just Sunday, my daughter requested steak and brussel sprouts for dinner – since it’s on the menu tonight, we will be trying this new recipe. Thanks!!
Okay … admittedly, I’ve never tried a brussel sprout; howEVER, this yummy recipe might just entice me to try them I know my husband would love them. Everything is better with bacon, isn’t it?
This looks delicious!! My daughter introduced me to roasting brussels sprouts and I’ve been hooked every since. Bacon makes everything better!

Kelly, I’m not usually a big fan of brussel sprouts, but everything is better with bacon! No question, my husband will love these! Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!
As I am scrolling down through the comments getting ready to type my oh so original comment {“everything tastes better with bacon”} I see that maybe everyone else also knows abut this bacon secret?? 😉 They look yum! I’ve only had them a few times {and once once an epic fail} so I need to try this PRONTO.
I’m going to have to give brussel sprouts another chance. ( Or maybe I just want any excuse to eat bacon. )
I love brussel sprouts with lemon, salt, and garlic. This sounds even better! Rick would love them too I’m sure. Pinning 🙂
Brussel sprouts are so yummy! My family thinks I’m crazy!!! I can make brussel sprouts with bacon now and eat the whole dish and they won’t even know what they’re missing. Thanks for an awesome recipe, Kelly. YUM!
Oh my goodness, this sounds so yummy! I will be getting the ingredients this week to make them.
I make these regularly (before I found your recipe) but I add a fair bit of lemon juice and some garlic powder and trust me, the addition of lemon and garlic make it become out of this world!! I saute everything in a frying pan instead of roasting in the oven as well.
I never imagined myself loving a vegetable so much.
