Ingredients

• 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil and garlic powder in a large bowl until evenly coated.
3. Arrange the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap to allow for even cooking.
4. Roast in the preheated oven until they start to turn golden and are almost tender, about 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through the cooking time.
5. While the sprouts are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chopped bacon until it is crispy.
6. Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven, sprinkle with crispy bacon and grated Parmesan cheese, and mix lightly to distribute the toppings.
7. Return the Brussels sprouts to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
8. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
