Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts

  • Fresh Brussels sprouts, washed, trimmed, and halved

Roasted Garlic Butter

  • Peeled garlic cloves
  • Plant-based butter
  • Natural gelling agent

Smoked Turkey Bacon

  • Smoked turkey bacon, chopped into bite-sized pieces

Seasonings & Others

  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper
  • Apple cider vinegar (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Start by washing and trimming the ends of fresh Brussels sprouts, then slice them in half lengthwise to ensure even roasting. This will produce crisp edges and tender centers.
  2. Make the Roasted Garlic Butter: Roast peeled garlic cloves gently in the oven until caramelized and soft. Blend the roasted garlic with plant-based butter and a natural gelling agent until smooth and spreadable. This mixture will coat the sprouts beautifully.
  3. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Chop smoked turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces and sauté over medium heat until crispy. Set aside to add a smoky crunch later.
  4. Toss Sprouts with Garlic Butter and Bacon: In a large bowl, gently toss the halved sprouts with the roasted garlic butter mixture, crispy smoked turkey bacon, sea salt, and black pepper. Make sure every piece is coated evenly.
  5. Roast to Perfection: Spread the coated Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Finish with Apple Cider Vinegar: After roasting, immediately drizzle a small amount of apple cider vinegar over the hot Brussels sprouts to awaken and brighten the flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh Brussels sprouts for the sweetest and crispiest results.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; give sprouts space to roast rather than steam.
  • Flip the Brussels sprouts halfway through roasting for even browning and maximum crispiness.
  • Adjust the amount of roasted garlic to suit your taste preference.
  • Let the dish rest for a couple of minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
