Roasted Brussel Sprouts

So, here is a new recipe for a really great vegetable dish.  I put this together for Easter dinner and everyone seemed to like it.  So, give it a try yourself.

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds of Brussel Sprouts
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and Petter
  • 1 diced large or 2 small Shallots
  • 4 Tablespoons of Capers drained
  • 6 strips of cooked, chopped bacon
Procedure
  • Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees
  • Cook bacon and set aside to drain and cool.  Once cool, chop into 1/4 inch pieces
  • Trim ends off of brussel sprouts - cut brussel sprouts in half along the length of the sprouts (not crossiwise)
  • Spread brussel sprouts out on a cooking sheet
  • Drizzle with oil olive
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Dice shallots finely and sprinkle over brussel sprouts
  • Sprinkle bacon bits on brussel sprouts
  • Bake for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned
  • Serve immediately or cover with foil or keep in warming oven
