Roasted Brussel Sprouts

These are brussel sprouts - cold, green, and not all that tasty, yet.

But despite their bad rap, brussel sprouts are delicious!  Wash and dry the the brussel sprouts.  Make sure they are dry so they will roast nicely.  Start by chopping the brussel sprouts in half, coating them in olive oil and salt & pepper.  Roast in a 450 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Flip them over about half way through cooking.

Meanwhile, heat some balsamic vinegar until it is reduced to a nice thickness.

Once the brussel sprouts are done, they will be nice and browned.  Yummy.

Then cook some bacon.

Remove the bacon and add onion pieces to the bacon grease, cook until browned.

Add the bacon and brussel sprouts back in and stir.  Then add the balsamic reduction on top!

Now, yummy brussel sprout goodness.
