One of our favorite side dishes has always been brussel sprouts. Grilled, caramelized roasted – it doesn’t matter how I serve them, my family always gobbles them up!
My favorite way to make brussel sprouts is this quick and easy recipe with bacon pieces and red potatoes.
It’s so simple that you can even enlist your children to help!
This is a great task to give your children – what kiddo doesn’t love playing with their food?

Sounds great! One of my daughters loves brussel sprouts and bacon, so this is the dish for her! We make brussel sprouts a lot in my home — we usually slice them in half and then broil them with butter, salt and pepper. But making them with olive oil would be a lot healthier!
Yum! these look incredible! My husbands loves brussel sprouts, so Im going to pin this one for later!
