Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Bacon & Apples

SO. STINKING. GOOD.
I’m completely convinced that when combined with a caramelized coating & crispy bacon ANY item can taste amazing. Hence the brussel sprouts being inhaled by every member of my family. Even this one…
“Don’t take my PICTURE!”

The recipe is from EveryDay Food & is as follows:

Ingredients

* 3 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
*4 pints Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and halved
*Coarse salt and ground pepper
*1 apple, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices, each slice halved crosswise
*2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange bacon in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until browned, 10 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts in a single layer; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until they begin to brown, about 15 minutes.

  2. Remove from oven, and toss in apple. Return to oven; roast until Brussels sprouts are browned and tender and apple has softened, 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. Toss vegetables with vinegar, and serve immediately.

I love brussel sprouts, but my hubby turns into a 2 year old toddler girl when they're on the menu (which is basically never). Do you mean that 2 year old toddlers actually will eat them with this recipe? I HAVE to try it!

I love Brusells sprouts but even with bacon I have yet to convince my three to eat 'em.

I tried this tonight, finally, but it didn't turn out like yours. Do you leave the bacon in the pan or remove it, I left mine in and it was burnt by the time I finished. Also, did you toss the sprouts in oil before roasting? My dish turned out really dry and didn't look anywhere near as apetizing as yours does in the photo.

I made this at Thanksgiving. Fantastic. Even the kids raved about it. We have requests for a repeat performance for Christmas, and I’m making them again tonight too. I’m adding a little more apple and had 2 zucchini in the fridge to use up, so am going to throw those in too. This is on my Pinterest board which I think has sent a bunch of people to your blog. Thanks!

I just made this tonight (actually eating it right now!) and it is SO GOOD! It was so easy to make and so delicious! The bacon is perfectly crispy and goes so well with the brussel sprouts :) I did leave it in a little longer but that’s only because I like my brussel sprouts really, really dark! Thanks for posting this!

Hmm….I wanted to print just the recipe….but your print button gave me 10 PAGES!! Ink is expensive! I was complying with your request, but I’m wishing now I had just opted to copy/paste :(

Recipe sounds delicious….making it for dinner tonight.
