How to Make Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium high heat until crispy, turning once to ensure it is cooked evenly on both sides. Cover pan with a splatter guard while cooking, if desired. Make sure the skillet is oven safe, like a cast iron skillet.
Remove skillet from heat and place cooked bacon on a paper towel lined plate to drain. Once cool, blot bacon with paper towels to remove excess fat before crumbling.
After skillet has cooled slightly, carefully drain the excess bacon grease into an empty can or other heat-safe container. If any bacon fat drips down the side of the skillet, be sure to wipe it off with a damp dish cloth before putting it back on the burner.
In a large bowl, combine Brussels sprouts and olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat skillet over medium-high heat and add Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, for several minutes until they begin to turn brown. Add the crumbled bacon to the skillet and place in the pre-heated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sprouts are tender, turn a rich, caramelized color.
Remove skillet from oven and serve immediately.
