Ingredients
- 1 lb. brussels sprouts, washed, trimmed, and sliced in half
- 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium apple, cored and chopped
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Drizzle the brussels sprouts with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Toss to coat, then spread on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes in the oven until tender and lightly browned.
- Core the apple and chop into bite-size pieces, roughly the size of the brussels sprout halves.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring periodically, until mostly done, but not crispy. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings, then add the chopped apples and rosemary to the pan with the bacon. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring periodically, until the apples soften and the bacon is fully cooked.
- Add the roasted brussels sprouts to the skillet with the bacon and apples and toss to combine. Adjust salt & pepper as necessary.
