Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Shallots

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Shallots have officially become my family’s favorite way to eat Brussels Sprouts!

Brussels sprouts have been a common side in our vegetable line-up for several years.  While I would say that with a food-obsessed Mom, my kids have very exposed food pallets and love a lot of crazy things, my youngest two children at 5 and 9 years old still have some typical hangups about certain vegetables, but not Brussels Sprouts.  We’ve cooked them numerous ways, but roasted tends to be the family favorite.  Roasting the Brussels sweetens and caramelizes them in such a way that all three of my children will eat them and then ask for seconds!

That being said, last night’s version was by far a winner.  This one-pan wonder combines crispy, smokey Bacon with sweet, caramelized Shallots mixed with slightly salty, roasted Brussels Sprouts to create a perfect symphony of flavor.  And it’s so easy!

Makin' Bacon - Homemade Hickory Smoked Bacon | SavorwithJennifer.com

I remember when I met Homemade Bacon for the first time.  Bacon with a capital ‘B’.  Bacon smoked with REAL hickory chips.  Bacon made with Pure Maple Sugar, as in sugar straight from a maple tree.  Until you have had Homemade Hickory Smoked Bacon, your life is not complete.  Is it kind of sad that I might actually believe that?

Caramel Apple Dutch Baby

This Caramel Apple Dutch Baby has swirls of cinnamon-infused caramel, tart Granny Smith apple slices, baked in a Cast Iron Skillet until the buttery, golden pancake puffs like a pop-over.

I’ve been eating this large, fluffy pancake since I was a child. It was a favorite Sunday morning breakfast that my dad loved to make, in part due to the simplicity, and partially because they are just really good!

What is a Dutch Baby? Sometimes called a German Pancake, it’s a cross between pancake, popover, and Yorkshire pudding. The batter is made up of eggs, flour, milk, and butter.
