How to Make Crispy Brussels Sprouts

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Lay 6 slices of bacon on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned and the fat has rendered. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  5. Add 1.5 lbs Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved or quartered if large) to the baking sheet with the bacon fat. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  6. Roast for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until Brussels sprouts are tender and golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and add 1/2 cup chopped apple (about 1 medium apple), 1/4 cup chopped pecans, and the cooked bacon to the baking sheet. Toss gently to combine.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
