Ingredients
- 1½ pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed
- 2 to 3large shallots, peeled
- Salt and pepper
- ½pound bacon, cut into 1- to 1½-inch pieces
- 1lemon
- 3garlic cloves
- Crushed red pepper
- Herb leaves, such as parsley or fresh thyme (optional)
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Step 2
Cut small to medium brussels sprouts in half and cut large ones in quarters; place on a sheet pan. Cut the shallots into rings; place on the same sheet pan. Season the vegetables lightly with salt and pepper and toss.
- Step 3
Add the bacon to the sheet pan and separate any pieces that have stuck together. Toss with the sprouts and shallots then arrange in an even layer. Roast, tossing sprouts and rotating pan once, until the vegetables are cooked through with caramelized edges and the bacon is lightly browned and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes (see Tip).
- Step 4
While the sprouts cook, cut the lemon in half, finely chop the garlic and set both aside.
- Step 5
When the sprouts come out of the oven and are still hot, add the garlic and juice from one lemon half, then sprinkle with red pepper to taste and toss to combine. Add the herbs, if using, and toss again. Serve warm.
- Using a well-seasoned sheet pan helps brown the brussels sprouts and cook the bacon quicker. If you’re using a newer or rarely used sheet pan, your cooking time may be longer.

Has anyone made this in advance and reheated on the stove or microwave? I have one oven and the turkey will be occupying it until I bake the rolls!
Trust me! Add a chopped apple to the sheet pan with all of the other ingredients! You will thank me later.
We always throw in some chestnuts too - lovely side dish for the turkey
It was tasty. I like the idea of adding an apple. I'm trying to get my mother to like Brussel sprouts. This one didn't do it. I liked it
Well-seasoned sheet pan? My sheet pans are stainless steel, not carbon steel or cast iron (?), and as such they are not seasoned but cleaned thoroughly. My goal has been to have them look like new even after nearly 40 years. Have I had this wrong?
I cooked this in my air fryer. It was so delicious!
