I love vegetables. Absolutely adore them. But it took me some time to get to where I am today that I could literally eat vegetables all day long. Incorporating more vegetables into your daily eating is all about baby steps. First find the vegetables that you love to eat and start incorporating a vegetable at each meal. And you can add some fun foods to your vegetables like BACON! This scrumptious recipe you'll get your vegetables in and some tasty sugar free bacon (make sure you check the label as most bacon out there has sugar added in. Wellshire Farms has started making a sugar free bacon and let's face it bacon really doesn't need sugar added to it).
Ingredients:
2 lbs. Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and cut in half
6 strips of bacon
Optional: Sprinkle of Garlic powder or Red pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Place the Brussels sprout halves in a roasting pan. Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder or red pepper and salt.
3. Cook the strips of bacon until just barely cooked. Place on a paper towel while they cool. Once cooled break up the bacon and scatter all over the Brussels sprouts.
4. Drizzle leftover oil from cooking the bacon over Brussels sprouts or drizzle olive oil or even a mixture of both!
5. Place the roasting pan in the oven and roast for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, toss the Brussels sprouts and bacon in the pan so that the sprouts are evenly cooked.
6. Continue roasting for another 15 minutes. To finish, turn the oven to high broil and broil for 5 minutes, mixing halfway through so that the sprouts crisp evenly.
7. Remove from the oven. Plate, serve and enjoy as a snack or side dish to your meal!
