My kids call these mini cabbages, and love the addition of bacon. This is an great vegetable to add to a quick dinner, and it is super easy to make.

If you haven’t tried Brussels Sprouts since childhood, I’d encourage trying this healthy and delicious version! My kids actually like drizzling the cooked version with a little raw honey for a sweet and salty mix!

    I love brussell sprouts.  I craved them during one of my pregnancies.  I usually eat them boiled soft with lots of butter, but this sounds lovely……I need to try it……and soon! :)

    I had not liked them until my husband wanted me to make some, so I found a roasting method that I looove. They are coated in oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper and roasted on 400 degrees. Every ten min I shake them up and roast them until they are dark brown and crispy and deliciously soft and buttery inside. Thank you for bringing these little guys into the light. I will try this recipe, because it has bacon!

    I fixed this reciepe tonight for my family because I “so” wanted to appreciate brussel sprouts (as a child until now…eeeeewwwww). AND I must say that the bacon saved the day for me in addition to the crispy brussell leaves)! Although I think that the bacon should be thrown in at the beginning of the cooking process….(I like it crispy)
