Ingredients

1 pound brussel sprouts
2 tablespoons avocado oil
5 cloves fresh minced garlic
5 bacon slices (nitrate & sugar-free)
2 tablespoons coconut aminos
1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees with the rack closer to the bottom.
Cut off ends and pull off outer leaves of the brussel sprouts. Cut into halves or quarter into bite size pieces.
Toss the brussel sprouts with avocado oil, garlic, sea salt and coconut aminos.
Spread evenly into one layer, flat side down, onto parchment lined baking sheet. Cut bacon into small pieces and distribute over the brussel sprouts.
Roast for 20 to 25 minutes until crispy. (see recipe notes)
Take out of the oven once crispy and drizzle with extra coconut aminos and sea salt if preferred. Enjoy!

Notes

Temperature of ovens vary, so start checking brussel sprouts after 20 minutes of cooking. I cooked them on the bottom rack and only needed 20-25 minutes of cooking time. I do not flip the sprouts at all. They are best left alone to caramelize and crisp up. My oven is a gas oven and cooks really hot...electric ovens may need a little longer cook time to get the crispiness you are looking for. Don't forget to add more sea salt if needed.
