Eat Clean Tuesday - Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Ingredients
- 2 pounds brussels sprouts
- 6-8 strips bacon
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil (or your preferred oil/fat)
Directions
- Turn your oven on to 400 degrees F.
- Wash and prep the brussels sprouts by chopping off the base and peeling off the outer 2-3 leaves. Then rough chop the remaining sprouts.
- Pour the sprouts into a bag and pour the oil over them. Toss the sprouts to coat them.
- Pour the oil-coated sprouts into a baking dish (an 8x13 dish should work well).
- Chop the bacon into 1/4-1/2" sections. Spread the bacon evenly on top of the sprouts.
- Put the baking dish in the oven on the middle or top shelf
- Set a timer for 45 minutes. Stir the sprouts every 15 minutes or so
- The sprouts are done when they are dark and wilted, with a bit of charring or black at the edge of some leaves.
- Remove from the oven and enjoy!
Notes
-
This recipe is gluten-free, paleo, and primal. Yay!
- You can add more or less bacon and fat as you wish
- I don't use any seasoning, but add salt and pepper as you like!

It has been purported that paleolithic man had a diet of nearly 1:1 omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, where as this meal is somewhere between 4:1 and 10:1. Throw a fish oil pill on that, might bring it back down. Or use fish! Is there fish bacon?
