Roasted Broccoli and Bacon (recipe)

I've been trying a lot of recipes lately. It's fun to discover new ways to eat foods. This is a fabulous way to make Brussels sprouts, and most importantly, EASY! My Paleo-recipe-collecting friend had this in her files from the Nom Nom Paleo website. Pork isn't on the Hashimoto's diet, but it is fine for Paleo and gluten-free meals.

 

 

 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs. Brussels sprouts
2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, or fat of choice
salt and pepper
4 bacon slices, cut into small pieces
balsamic vinegar, aged (optional)

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

Wash Brussels sprouts, trim off ends, and cut in half. Place in a bowl and toss with salt and pepper and oil. Spread on baking sheet with raw bacon pieces. Bake for 15 minutes and flip. Bake another 15 minutes until done.

When they are ready to eat, sprinkle aged balsamic vinegar on them for a tangy seasoning. I didn't have any balsamic vinegar and they tasted great without.

Use broccoli or cauliflower instead of Brussels sprouts.

Yum.
