Bacon Caesar Brussel Sprouts Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut them in half lengthwise.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.

3. 3

   Sauté Brussels Sprouts

   In the skillet with the reserved bacon fat, add the olive oil, Brussels sprouts, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they start to brown.

4. 4

   Bake the Brussels Sprouts

   Transfer the sautéed Brussels sprouts to a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and crispy.

5. 5

   Combine Ingredients

   Once the Brussels sprouts are done, remove them from the oven and place them in a bowl. Add the cooked bacon (chopped), Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss to combine.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
