Notes

Serving: This keto and low-carb side dish goes beautifully with poultry or fish, or it's fantastic just on its own!

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat on a skillet over the stovetop to get it warmed and crispy.

Oil: Since bacon renders a good amount of fat for these roasted brussels sprouts, there's no added olive oil or cooking oil. This is why you roast the brussels sprouts and bacon for just 5 minutes in the beginning to render some of the bacon grease, then stir everything together to coat.

Baking: Check the brussels sprouts after 20 minutes into the 2nd roasting. Depending on your oven temperature, the brussels sprouts may brown and crisp up quickly. Check periodically so they don't burn.
