1
Prepare the Brussel Sprouts
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the Brussel sprouts under cold water, remove the outer leaves, and trim the stem ends. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
2
Chop the Jalapeño
Slice the jalapeño in half, remove the seeds (for less heat), and finely chop it.
3
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces.

4
Toss and Roast the Sprouts
In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussel sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Spread the sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer.
5
Add Jalapeño and Bake
Sprinkle the chopped jalapeño over the Brussel sprouts. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the sprouts are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
6
Finish with Bacon and Cotija
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the chopped bacon and cotija cheese over the crispy Brussel sprouts. Serve warm.
