Serves: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 lb brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 4 slices of bacon
  • 2 Tbsp melted ghee or avocado oil
  • 1 tsp fresh minced garlic
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
For serving:
  • 1 Tbsp everything bagel seasoning
  • Zest of ½ lemon
  • Roasted Garlic Aioli (recipe below)
Roasted Garlic Aioli
  • 1 whole head garlic
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp fresh chopped rosemary or thyme
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut off the top part of the garlic head so the cloves are visible, and peel off the excess outside layers, leaving a layer intact. Drizzle the top with 1 tsp olive oil, and wrap it loosely in aluminum foil (individually). Stick it in the oven while you’re preparing the sprouts.
  3. Put the brussels sprouts in a large bowl and toss them with the oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and pepper, then spread them on the prepared baking sheet. Save the bowl for later.
  4. Lay the bacon slices across the brussels sprouts. Take the garlic out of the oven (with a mitt!) and place the aluminum foil packs on top of the baking sheet.
  5. Pop the sheet in the oven, and bake for about 25 minutes, until the bacon is cooked through and the sprouts are crispy.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and set the garlic aside. Transfer the sprouts back to the bowl, and sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning and lemon zest. Chop up the bacon into little bits and toss it in with the brussels sprouts.
  7. Once the garlic is cool to the touch, squeeze all the cloves out and chop them up. In a small bowl, mix the roasted garlic with the mayo, lemon juice, chopped herbs, sea salt and pepper.
  8. Serve the sprouts warm with the aioli. Devour!
