My love for brussel sprouts

So I have decided to officially declare brussel sprouts as my absolute favorite vegetable. I actually didn't realize how much I love them until the past few years. There is just something about that texture and flavor that I just absolutely love.

Did I mention bacon? no? well, bacon and brussel sprouts is the new peanut butter and jelly. #justsaying.




This is my favorite way to make brussel sprouts- It's so easy, you cant go wrong.

Wash the brussel sprouts and just cut them in half. Lay them on a cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper (sometimes I like to add a little bit of red pepper flakes too). Pop them in the 375 degree oven for 15 minutes. Layer on the bacon and put it back for another 15-20 minutes.

I like to put them in for more than 30 minutes because I actually like the "drier" texture and taste… Depends on you, you can just put them in for 15 minutes if you like them that way.
