Lemon Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I love the idea "less is more", and it could not be more accurate in this super simple recipe. You could add a million more ingredients or slabs of butter to your sprouts, but it truly isn't necessary :)

Ingredients:
1 Stalk Brussels Sprouts
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Italian Seasoning (mine had thyme, basil, parsley, etc)
1/2 Lemon
4 Veggie Bacon strips (I used morningstar brand)

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Grab your stalk! You could, of course, just buy them single but where's the fun in that?

Take them off the stalk, cut off the bottom of the sprouts and slice them in half. Rinse well!

Lay on a towel to dry and mix the Olive Oil, S&P, and spices up in a bowl. Once the Brussels are dry put them on a baking sheet and toss in the oil until they all have a thin coat.

Place in oven for 5 minutes! After 5 minutes, take them out and squeeze the lemon juice over the Brussels, and cut up some slices if you'd like to throw in the pan.

Put back in oven for 5 more minutes. In the meantime, crumble up the veggie bacon and cook until slightly crisp.

Take out Brussels and toss in the "bacon" bits. Put back in oven for 5 more minutes.

Super simple, delicious, seasonal. Nothing better :)

This recipe is perfect because it's cheap, seasonal, and full of veggies. I made a lot so I might put the leftovers into a pasta dish later. These would be so perfect for a potluck.

Yummmm :)

Enjoy friends! From my heart, to yours <3
