Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 4 slices AIP-compliant bacon diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika for extra smokiness
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. If some are larger, cut them into quarters to ensure even cooking.
  • Dice the AIP-compliant bacon into small pieces.
  • In a large bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure the sprouts are evenly coated. Add sea salt to taste.
  • Add the diced bacon to the bowl and mix to distribute the bacon pieces among the Brussels sprouts.
  • Spread the Brussels sprouts and bacon mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure the sprouts are spread out to avoid steaming and achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. The Brussels sprouts should be crispy and caramelized, and the bacon should be nicely rendered and slightly crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. The bacon should be crispy, and the Brussels sprouts should have a deep, savory flavor with a satisfying crunch.
