Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Apple Cider Vinegar


Brussels sprouts get a terrible rap. On television, Brussels sprouts are a horrid vegetable no little kid wants to eat. Growing up, I never had Brussels sprouts and it wasn’t until I ate at my college dining hall that I had Brussels sprouts. And they lived up to their reputation as a horrid vegetable. Brussels sprouts can be quite bitter and bland, and those sprouts you need to avoid at all costs. A while passed after my first experience with Brussels sprouts until I saw a bag of Brussels sprouts in the freezer aisle and had the urge to give them a second try.

If you’had bad experiences with Brussels sprouts, try this recipe. It’s full of of crispy bits of bacon, tangy apple cider vinegar and sweet brown sugar that’ll make you forget all about those bitter little cabbages you ate when you were younger. A bonus, if you’re using frozen Brussels sprouts, you don’t even have to thaw them before cooking.
