    Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts that Everyone Will Want to Eat

    By Alisa Fleming on October 6, 2020 Alisa's Favorite Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Recipes, Sides

    As we head toward the holidays this year, I’ll be sharing more delicious side dishes. Some of them will be alternatives to old dairy-rich favorites, and some will be naturally dairy-free and delicious, like these bacon roasted brussels sprouts from my cookbook, Eat Dairy Free.

    Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts that Everyone Will Want to Eat

    For many years, my husband wouldn’t touch a brussels sprout. Even when I roasted them, and swore he would like them, he positively refused to take a bite. So one day I used his beloved bacon to roast them. He couldn’t resist, he had to try it. And you know what, he loved them.

    Bacon was definitely the gateway food needed to get my husband to give those mini cabbages another chance. Now he likes them roasted (without bacon!), sautéed, and even steamed. But we still make this bacon roasted brussels sprouts side dish when we are craving something a little special.

    How to get your family to eat Brussels sprouts? Add bacon, of course! The bacon infuses the sprouts with flavor as they both cook together. This recipe is a simple side from my cookbook, Eat Dairy Free: Your Essential Cookbook for Everyday Meals, Snacks, and Sweets.
    Author: Alisa Fleming
    Recipe type: Side
    Cuisine: American
    Serves: 4 to 6 servings
    Ingredients
    • 1½ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved or quartered (see Brussels Sprouts Note below)
    • 3 slices uncooked bacon, cut into small ½-inch pieces (see Bacon Note below)
    • 2 teaspoons olive oil
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • Freshly ground black pepper
    Instructions
    1. Preheat your oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
    2. Place the sprouts on the prepared baking sheet. Top with the bacon pieces, oil, salt, and several shakes of pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients (the small pieces of bacon should stick to the sprouts).
    3. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring once at 15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sprouts are tender and just starting to caramelize around the edges.
    Notes
    Brussels Sprouts Note: Whole Brussels sprouts steam on the insides, becoming quite tender and even a little mushy when roasted. I use halved or quartered sprouts to help them stay crisp-tender. The flat sides also offer resting spots for the bacon pieces and more surface area to cover with flavor.
    Bacon Note: Bacon can contain top allergens, so verify the ingredients before purchasing. I use uncured, nitrate-free bacon, like Niman Ranch or Applegate. Thick cut also works well.

      Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?

        I’ve never tried it with frozen. I’d imagine they would add a lot of moisture.

      Do you have anything for a Lyme disease Alpha Galan, person. It has to be absolutely mammal meat and dairy free. Rice milk and coconut milk are my go to for dairy. Must be shot and nut free. I’ve tried dog, almond and oat milk and have not tolerance for them, any suggestions.
