Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon are roasted to perfection, with crispy bacon and lots of Parmesan cheese.
This recipe for Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon is one of my favorite side dishes. Brussels sprouts seem to get a bad rap for some reason. I mean I hated them as a kid and I still don’t care for them steamed but I love them roasted, and the Parmesan and bacon put it over the top.
These little baby cabbages are not only cute but super east to prepare. Every time I make this recipe my hubby and son eat them all, they love them. My favorite part is the leaves that fall off and get crispy when roasted. So yummy!
I like to use a this inexpensive baking sheet to roast them, actually I use this sheet pan for everything.
Brussels Sprouts are super easy to prepare, cut off the brown ends and then just cut them in half if they are large. Toss in olive oil, and Parmesan and roast for 20-25 minutes.
Another family favorite is my Garlic Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower. Something about roasted veggies that makes them always and look more appetizing.
These Brussels Sprouts are a quick side dish that you can prep ahead. Even people who say they hate Brussels sprouts, have a new found love for them after trying this recipe.

Do you cook the bacon with the Brussels or partially cook before??? I’m not seeing where it’s added in the recipe
Yes the recipe calls for cooked bacon pieces, then you add it with the cheese at the end.
Fresh or frozen sprouts?
Fresh 🙂
But, could you cook chopped raw bacon with sprouts?
I’ve never done it that way. So I cant say for sure. But you might be able to lay a few pieces of bacon flat on the sheet with the sprouts. Then chop it up after its crispy and toss it with the sprouts. Hope that helps 🙂
I buy a mix that my grocery store puts together. The Brussel sprouts ate cut in half, red onion slices, and chopped bacon that is not cooked. I toss it in the olive oil and put it in the oven to roast. Comes out fine!
Sounds delicious Micki!
