This easy recipe uses simple ingredients to create a warm, zesty, and irresistible treat that pairs well with a variety of meals and suits diverse diets.

Ingredients

Scale

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Garlic Butter and Seasoning

  • 3 tbsp plant-based butter
  • 3 garlic cloves (natural), minced
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)

Smoked Turkey Bacon

  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep and Trim the Brussels Sprouts: Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim off the stem ends. Remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves, then slice each sprout in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking and maximum surface area for crisping.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the plant-based butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic cloves (natural) and gently cook until fragrant but not browned, allowing the butter to be infused with savory garlic flavor.
  3. Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Spread them cut-side down on a baking sheet to maximize crispness. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, turning once midway through to ensure even browning.
  4. Crisp the Smoked Turkey Bacon: While the Brussels sprouts roast, cook the chopped smoked turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels.
  5. Combine and Finish: Once the Brussels sprouts are golden and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl. Drizzle the warm garlic butter over while the sprouts are hot, add the crispy smoked turkey bacon bits, and finish with a splash of apple cider vinegar (natural) for a bright tangy flavor.

Notes

  • Use a hot oven set at 425°F (220°C) to achieve crispy edges with tender insides.
  • Place Brussels sprouts cut side down on the baking sheet for maximum caramelization.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming and ensure even roasting.
  • Cook garlic gently in butter to prevent browning and bitterness.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
  • Leftover Brussels sprouts can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days; keep smoked turkey bacon separate if possible.
  • Reheat leftovers in a hot skillet or oven to regain crispness; avoid microwaving.
