Crispy Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Crispy Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts balance caramelized sprouts with smoky bacon and a gentle kick of cayenne. Toasted pine nuts add buttery crunch, while red onion brings sweetness that rounds out the salty, savory notes. Serve this side with weeknight roasts or holiday mains when you want bold flavor and satisfying texture.
