Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 200 g Mushrooms (button or cremini, sliced)
- 150 g Bacon (thick cut, diced)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 30 g Parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the Brussels sprouts, trim the ends, and cut them in half. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the sliced mushrooms to the bowl with the Brussels sprouts.
Step 4
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, and reserve the rendered bacon fat.
Step 5
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the mixing bowl holding the Brussels sprouts and mushrooms. Pour in 1 tablespoon of reserved bacon fat for added flavor.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss everything until the vegetables are well coated.
Step 7
Spread the Brussels sprouts and mushrooms in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded for even roasting.
Step 8
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving dish.
Step 10
Top with the crispy bacon bits and, if desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the dish for added richness.
Step 11
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish and enjoy!
