Crispy oven roasted Brussels sprouts are packed with umami.  The roasting adds a caramel taste and the pancetta gives this recipe a salty, crispy, and sweet flavor punch.  Can't find pancetta?  Use crispy bacon instead.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 oz pancetta or bacon
  • 1lb Brussels Sprouts, rinsed and cut in half
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F. (Roast if you have that option).
  • Bring a large non stick pan to medium high heat.  When hot add pancetta slices.  Fry on each side 2-3 minutes or until crispy & brown.  Let cool, dice, and set aside.
  • Cut off the root ends of the Sprouts, slice in half, and place in a large bowl.  Toss with olive oil, salt, & pepper, and place cut side down on an aluminum lined baking sheet.  Cook for 8-12 minutes or until browning (this can happen either on the cut side or the top side depending on how your oven works).
  • Top with crispy, diced pancetta and add sea salt to taste.  Happy Eating!  Beckie
