Caramelized Brussels sprouts paired with savory beef bacon for a flavorful, hearty dish.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1.1 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

02 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

03 - 4.2 oz beef bacon, sliced into 3/4 inch pieces

04 - 2 tbsp olive oil

05 - 1/2 tsp sea salt

06 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

07 - 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

08 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

09 - 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts and red onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.

03 - Spread the vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Scatter beef bacon pieces over the top.

04 - Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are golden and the bacon is crisp.

05 - Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with parsley and Parmesan if desired. Serve hot.

01 -

The beef bacon renders just enough fat to coat every sprout in irresistible flavor without feeling heavy
Its one of those magical dishes that somehow tastes even better the next day, if there are any leftovers

02 -

Crowding the baking sheet will steam the sprouts instead of roasting them, so use two pans if necessary
The beef bacon cooks faster than you expect, so keep an eye on it during those last few minutes

03 -

Let the roasted vegetables rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving brightens the entire dish
