Ingredients
- 2 lbs fresh brussels sprouts
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup turkey bacon cooked and diced
- 1/3 cup blue cheese crumbles or feta cheese for a milder option

- Spread sprouts out onto a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet. Arrange cut side down for crispier edges.
- Roast at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden and tender, stirring once.
- While sprouts are roasting, cook and dice the bacon.
