Roasted Beets & Brussels Sprouts with Crispy Bacon

Honestly, my friend Dawn makes the best roasted beets.  She really does.  They’re just perfectly crispy, a little bit salty, and the color is amazing.  Dawn really has turned me on to roasted beets and my recipe for Roasted Beets & Brussels Sprouts with Crispy Bacon was inspired by her.

Developing a Menu

I have been in the process of developing my Thanksgiving menu, and I really wanted to include a little bit of red and green. I don’t know of any two better vegetables for including red and green than Brussels and beets.  Also, I wanted something simple.  A dish that I could add to the Thanksgiving menu without adding any stress to the day.  Hence, Roasted Beets & Brussels Sprouts with Crispy Bacon was born.


Who Can Resist a Roasted Beet??

Just the color and the pattern of beets makes my creative juices start gurgling.  Here’s a tip – cut on a plastic cutting board and follow up by placing the sliced beets onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

Steps:

  • Cut your beets into medium sized discs.
  • Cut large Brussels sprouts in half.
  • Place both onto a sheet pan.
  • Add red onions for color and a kick.
  • Cover with your olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
