WHAT YOU NEED:
+ 4 cups brussel sprouts, sliced into quarters
+ 1/2 red onion, julienned
+ 5 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled into small pieces
+ 3 tbsp honey goat cheese, crumbles
+ 2 tbsp olive oil
+ 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
+ 1/4 fresh squeezed lemon
+ 2 gloves garlic, minced
+ 1/2 tsp onion power & garlic powder
+ salt/pepper to taste
+ 1-2 tbsp balsamic reduction
HOW TO:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice brussel sprouts into quarters and place in a medium/large bowl. Add sliced red onion to this bowl as well. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, balsamic, fresh lemon, fresh garlic, and spices. Pour marinate over brussel sprouts and onions and mix well. TIP: I like to use my hands to help gently massage the marinate into the brussel sprouts. Let sit for about 10-15 minutes.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle with crumbled bacon and goat cheese. Drizzle balsamic drizzle on top and enjoy!TIP: I like to add the cooked bacon after the brussels sprouts have cooked to help prevent burning the bacon bites. Serve as a side and ENJOY!
