Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts
• 4 slices Bacon
• 0.5 cup Pistachios
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Trim the stems off the Brussels sprouts, remove any damaged outer leaves, and slice them in half lengthwise.

Step 3

Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a mixing bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the Brussels sprouts out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once midway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.

Step 7

Roughly chop the pistachios and the cooked bacon into small pieces.

Step 8

Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, transfer them to a large serving bowl.

Step 9

Add the chopped bacon and pistachios to the roasted Brussels sprouts and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

Step 10

Toss everything together gently to combine, and serve warm.
