Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
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 hated them as a kid and I still don't care for them steamed but I love my Shredded Brussels Sprouts or roasted, and the Parmesan and bacon put it over the top.
These little baby cabbages are not only cute but super easy to prepare. I like to use this inexpensive baking sheet to roast them, actually, I use this sheet pan for everything.
Every time I make this recipe everyone goes crazy for it. My favorite part is the leaves that fall off and get crispy when roasted. So good!
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 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 newfound love for them after trying this recipe.

I cook for a shelter and we make things ahead that can be frozen and then reheated.
Is it possible with this recipe? It sounds amazing.
So happy you loved them Carrie!
These are so delicious, I used a bit of the bacon grease with the olive oil- yummy🙂
I've never done it that way Mel! But if you give it a try I would add the parm and bacon at the end just like the original recipe.
Can you make this on the strove in a frying pan? When would you add the bacon and parm?
Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving! 🍗
I would prep them and then just bake them the day of. The crispy bites are one of my favorite parts. I hope your daughter loves them. Happy Thanksgiving 🙂
Can I cook this ahead of time and reheat? Or do I need to bake them just before serving? If so, I wonder if I can do everything BUT bake them today and throw them on the pan tomorrow to bake? I don’t want to get it wrong. My daughter is begging for them at thanksgiving tomorrow!
I do not. But you can add the recipe in https://www.verywellfit.com/recipe-nutrition-analyzer-4157076 to calculate for you. 🙂
