How to Make Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Cranberries and Bacon
- Step One: Preheat oven to 400°F. Stir together brussel sprouts, olive oil, cinnamon, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, tossing the Brussel sprouts at the 10 minute mark.
- Step Two: Cook bacon in a frying pan over medium heat. Let bacon cool and then crumble.
- Step Three: In the same frying pan, cook the onions in the bacon grease for 3 to 4 minutes. Add in apple cider vinegar, cranberries and sugar and stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and stir for an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Step Four: Place roasted Brussel sprouts into a serving dish. Stir in cranberry onion mixture. Sprinkle on bacon and serve hot.
The sauce has a slightly sweet undertone thanks to the addition of cranberries and a bit of sugar. It tastes wonderful when mixed with the Brussel Sprouts. The bacon goes on top at the end. Everything thing tastes better when you add bacon, in my opinion!
When I served this to my family, I ended up eating more than my fair share. I couldn’t stop though! It was so good! I hope you’ll give this recipe a try and let me know what you thought.
