Roasting veggies is such a game changer.
Not only is it an easy method to cook them (season & bake!), the high heat of the oven caramelizes the natural sugars in the vegetables to give them a deeper flavor you’d never get from steaming or (ew) boiling.
We toss loads of veggies in the oven in an array of combinations with whatever seasonings sound good at least a few times a week.
Lately, we’ve been on a big Brussels sprouts kick, so I thought I’d share our current favorite: roasted Brussels sprouts with Parmesan, bacon, and cauliflower! It’s a great mix!
We like to serve these with our keto meatloaf. Reminds me of a meal my grandma would have made.
How to:
Chop the ends off the Brussels sprouts and then halve them.
Toss them into a large mixing bowl with fresh cauliflower florets, plenty of minced garlic, and seasonings.
Now there are two ways to go about the fat in this recipe – you can drizzle the veggies with the oil of your choice and pop these in the oven. While they roast, you’ll want to fry up some bacon to sprinkle over them before serving.
My favorite way, though, is to start by frying the bacon and then use the bacon drippings as the fat. It adds so much flavor!
Pick which works best for you – either way is tasty!
How long to roast Brussels sprouts:
We bake these at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
You an cook them a bit longer if you like your vegetables softer, but we like them to still have a bit of bite in them.
Serving:
Pull your Brussels sprouts and cauliflower from the oven and sprinkle some crumbled bacon and shredded Parmesan over the top. A bit of red pepper flakes would be nice too, if you like some heat.
Serve this up with our stuffed chicken breast, chicken drumsticks, or pork tenderloin.
