Brussels Sprouts with Bacon + Cranberries

I don't know about you, but growing up I didn't like brussel sprouts.

It wasn't until a few years ago that I started to like them.

I realized the key to delicious brussel sprouts is roasting them.

And, adding other goodies to them also enhances the flavor. 

Here is a delicious brussel sprouts recipe that is perfect for this time of year...it has balsamic, bacon & cranberries!

Here is what you need:

 - 2 lbs of brussel sprouts

- 6 pieces of Bacon (I use Hormel!)

- 1 cup of FROZEN cranberies

- 1 T olive oil

-3 T balsamic vinegar

- 1 cup sliced almonds

Cut the brussel spouts in half, lengthwise:

Add them to a gallon ziplock bag & add the olive oil & balsamic vinegar:

 Shake the bag so that the oil & vinegar coat the brussel sprouts.

Add the frozen cranberries to the bag & shake it again:

Cut your bacon into small pieces:

 Spray a baking pan with cooking spray & then put the brussel spouts & cranberries on the baking sheet. Add the chopped bacon to the top along with the sliced almonds:

It's so pretty. Love the green & red. Perfect for Christmas :)

Bake at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes.  

Yum.

 This recipe is super easy to make & it's healthy.....bacon is healthy, right? ;)

 Sometimes I add more almonds to the top of each serving.
