Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved lengthwise
- 3 tablespoons reserved bacon grease
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until desired crispness. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain, reserving 3 tbsp. of the bacon grease.
- Discard the remaining bacon grease or save for another use. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Mix Brussels sprouts in a bowl with the reserved bacon grease, salt, and pepper. Pour them on a rimmed baking pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly.
- Crumble the bacon. Stir the bacon and almonds into the Brussels sprouts. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Try not to trim off too much of the bottom or your sprouts will fall apart. It's still tasty but keep an eye on the leaves that have fallen off so they don't burn.
