Equipment

  • 9x13 pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts
  • 6 slices bacon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon pepper
  • cup leeks
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil or other light oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375º F.
  • Wash the Brussels sprouts. Use a sharp knife to cut the base stem off. Slice the Brussel sprout in half. Repeat with all of the sprouts. Set the sprouts aside in a large bowl.
  • In a pan, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy.
  • Chop the bacon and add to the Brussels sprouts in the bowl. 
  • Add salt, pepper, oil, and leeks to the bowl. Toss to coat.
  • Add the Brussels sprout mix to a greased baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes, remove the pan and stir the Brussels sprouts. Place the pan back into the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

  1. Slice your Brussels sprouts in half vertically.
  2. Many ask if you can use precooked bacon, you can but you will not have the bacon grease to help roast and flavor the Brussels sprouts.
  3. You can make this recipe stovetop as well. Add the oil and bacon to a 12" cast iron skillet. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until the sprouts are soft.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
