Instructions
Creating the Holidays Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Toasted Pecans, and Dried Cranberries is a straightforward process. Just follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts, removing any damaged outer leaves.
3. Cook Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Once done, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
4. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts, roasted bacon, toasted pecans, dried cranberries, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
5. Toss to Coat: Toss the ingredients until evenly coated with olive oil and seasonings.
6. Transfer to Baking Sheet: Spread the mixture onto a large baking sheet in a single layer for even roasting.
7. Roast in Oven: Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and slightly caramelized.
8. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
By following these simple instructions, you’ll end up with beautifully roasted Brussels sprouts that are full of flavor and texture.
