I can’t believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away! When it comes to Thanksgiving, it’s all about the sides. You’ve gotta have a great stuffing, potatoes of course, and I always love a delicious veggie side dish. One of my favorite go-tos is this super simple and flavor-packed roasted brussels dish with crispy bacon, pumpkin seeds, and a balsamic drizzle to bring it all together. It’s a super tasty way to get in those veggies that the entire family will love!
Here’s What You’ll Need:
1 large bundle of brussels sprouts, de-stemmed and sliced
4 pieces bacon
1/4 red onion, chopped
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1-2 tbsp avocado oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions:
Toss the brussels sprouts in avocado oil, sea salt, and pepper and roast in a preheated 425 degree oven for for 20-25 minutes until browned and crispy.
In the meantime, cook up the bacon on the stove top until crispy.
Remove the bacon and chop it into small pieces. Remove excess bacon grease from the pan, leaving about 1 tbsp.
Cook up chopped red onion and pumpkin seeds for 3-5 minutes in the pan on the stovetop.
Once cooked, mix the Brussels sprouts, red onion, pumpkin seeds, and bacon.
Serve and top with a drizzle of balsamic. Enjoy!
