Because everything is better with BACON…

serves 4-6

1 lb brussels sprouts, cut off stems and slice in half lengthwise
1 lb bacon cut in chunks (I use Trader Joe’s Uncured Bacon Ends & Pieces, SO good!)
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1 lemon, zest and juice
2 large garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
balsamic glaze, to taste
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

1. Cook bacon in skillet over medium high heat. Set aside. Don’t discard the grease!
2. On a baking sheet, combine halved brussels sprouts, red onion, lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt & pepper, cooked bacon and a couple tablespoons of that delicious bacon grease. Add some olive oil if too dry.
3. Roast at 425 degrees for 20 mins or until crispy & golden brown.
4. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, add goat cheese. Lightly toss, serve warm.

Enjoy all the crispiness!
