2 – 3 lbs of Brussel sprouts, cleaned and halved
6 strips of thick cut bacon, cooked and crumbed, reserve the bacon grease
½ C Jessi’s Blueberry Balsamic Vinaigrette
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Cook bacon off in a large baking sheet until slightly crispy. Move to paper towels. Take halved Brussel sprouts and place in the same baking sheet, coating with the bacon grease. For a healthier version, move to a new baking sheet and spray with cooking oil. Bake at 400 degrees until sprouts are slightly tender and browned on the outside. Generally about 25 minutes. I have, on occasion, turned the oven up to broil for the last couple of minutes to brown the sprouts.
Move the Brussel sprouts and bacon to a large saute` pan and coat with the vinaigrette. Stir in pan 2 – 3 minutes to ensure an even coating. Serve and enjoy!
