Ingredients
1 lb brussels sprouts halved
2 Tbsp olive oil
1½ Tbsp Ranch dressing mix
4 ounces bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
2
Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with ranch dressing mix, toss to coat. Place brussels spouts cut side down on the pan to get a good sear. Place the pieces of bacon evenly on the pan.
3
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the brussels sprouts are fork tender but not mushy. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with shredded cheese and serve immediately.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Overcrowding the pan will cause the vegetables to steam instead of roast.
Make sure to turn all of the sprouts face down to get a nice sear.
Can substitute turkey bacon for a lower calorie dish.
I use half a packet of ranch seasoning. If you are sensitive to ranch dressing, adjust the amount to your personal preference.

Can I make Roasted Brussels Sprouts in advance? You can prep the sprouts ahead of time and place them on the baking sheet with the bacon pieces when you are ready to roast them.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
