How to Make Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Bacon And Lemon

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts, but do not cut them completely in half. Cut larger sprouts in half lengthwise.
  3. Cut one lemon in half lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise.
  4. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and blanch for 5 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Drain the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
  6. Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  7. Evenly distribute 4 slices of bacon, lemon slices, salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the sprouts.
  8. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are tender, browned, and slightly caramelized.
  9. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
