Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 6 Slices bacon, cut into pieces
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. On a large baking sheet, season brussels sprouts, bacon, and garlic with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil and toss until combined.
