Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon is a delicious, easy-to-make side dish for a holiday dinner or just a dinner during the week. They are roasted tender with onion, sprinkled with crisp bacon, and then drizzled with honey Dijon dressing (If you aren't a fan of Dijon I also recommend my homemade honey mustard dressing).

Benefits of Brussels Sprouts
Brussels Sprouts are packed with healthy nutrients like vitamin C, packed with antioxidants, and also are a plant-based protein, which is just a few of the reasons that they are amazing.
What do Roasted Brussels Sprouts pair well with?
These go great with pork, chicken, or beef. I love them because they are easy to do and are a healthy side that is totally doable for a healthy dinner any night of the week!
Are you a fan of Brussels Sprouts?
They seem to be a "love it or leave it" vegetable. Only until recently, I was a "leave it" kind of girl.
A few years ago, my sister made a fantastic recipe for our Christmas dinner, and I discovered that I loved brussels sprouts! Yes, you do spell Brussels with an s and you only capitalize if you start a sentence with the word, no matter what spell check tells you:) I started playing around with other ways to use the little cabbage balls and this is one of my favorite recipes.
Can they be made ahead?
Absolutely! Rewarm in the microwave or slide them in the oven to heat. If you make ahead, add the dressing until right before serving.
I serve this recipe during the holidays and backyard patio dinners. It is versatile and complements any type of protein.
How to make Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cook bacon until crisp & set aside.
Wash brussels sprouts, trim the stem ends and remove any outer leaves that are detaching. Cut in half from stem to top and put in a bowl.
Cut onion into thin slices and add to the brussels sprouts.
Add olive oil and lightly toss sprouts and onion. Next, sprinkle salt and pepper over vegetables and toss to coat.

Lightly grease the cookie sheet and add vegetables.

Add ¼ - ⅓ cup water to the pan. This will steam the vegetables while they cook. I learned this trick from a local restaurant, and I love the texture the steaming gives the sprouts. If you prefer a more crisp texture, skip this step.
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Sprinkle brussels sprouts with chopped bacon and drizzle with honey dijon dressing.
