How To Make roasted brussels sprouts w/bacon & shallot

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Step 2
    Cook the bacon until crispy then set aside to drain on a paper towel. Once cooled, break up the bacon in to small pieces.
  • Step 3
    In a large prep bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, shallots, blood orange olive oil (or blood orange juice and olive oil) and cumin. Toss mixture together well to coat.
  • Step 4
    Arrange the vegetable on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer with the Brussels sprouts facing cut side down.
  • Step 5
    Roast for about 20-25 minutes or until sprouts are tender and easily pierce with a knife but NOT mushy.
  • Step 6
    Season with salt and cracked black pepper, to taste. Garnish the vegetables with the bacon bits and the blood orange zest.
