    Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries is the BEST WAY to enjoy Brussels sprouts! Bacon roasting in the oven with fresh cranberries makes them quite irresistible. 

    Serve this side dish with ham, pork chops or roasted chicken for a delicious holiday or weekend meal.

    It's time to bring Brussels sprouts back and in a big, delicious way! Tossed in bacon grease, spread on a baking sheet with fresh cranberries and roasted to perfection in just 20 minutes, this is a perfect side dish for  busy weeknight dinner or a holiday feast. Also, I think it looks pretty too.

    Roasting vegetables brings out their rich and deep flavor. I prefer this way of cooking them above boiling (let's not do that anymore!) and steaming.  While we grill a lot of them during summer, I always oven roast them when the weather turns chilly.

    Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries Recipe - the BEST WAY to enjoy Brussels sprouts! Bacon roasting in the oven with fresh cranberries makes them quite irresistible.

    The prep for this dish is very easy and doesn't take much time. Cook bacon in a saucepan, remove onto paper towel lined plate. Trim the Brussels sprouts, season with salt and pepper and toss in bacon grease. Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet, add fresh cranberries and roast for 20 minutes in 400 degrees F. They are ready when Brussels sprouts are tender and cranberries burst. Roasting brings out sweetness in the sprouts, which pairs perfectly with tarty cranberries and crispy bacon.

    For a dinner on a busy weeknight, add seasoned chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces and diced sweet potatoes and bake. I've made this dish several times and there are never any leftovers!

    Serving:

    I plan on serving them along my Creamy Garlic Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes, the Green Bean Casserole from Scratch, my Hubby's favorite Sausage Stuffing and this Sweet Potato Casserole with two toppings on Thanksgiving this year.

      Delicious with many textures and flavors. Served it at Thanksgiving and those who usually don’t like Brussel sprouts raved about this dish and had seconds.

      I am DEFINITELY with you on the roasting! I hated brussels sprouts when I was a kid, I'm pretty sure because my mom boiled them. When my father in law introduced me to roasted brussels sprouts, it was like WHOA! Totally different taste. My kids love them too. This looks amazing, Anna!

      What a great way to combine the flavors of the season. I would never have thought to combine the two but it looks delicious.
