Hands down, brussels sprouts are my favorite thing to eat in the fall. While they are great alone, brussel sprouts paired with bacon is a match made in heaven. I’m sharing this recipe because it’s one I make often for my family and it’s always a hit! Try out the tahini sauce and you won’t be able to stop eating them! They’re the perfect autumn side dish.

Ingredients

BRUSSLES & BACON
2 cups brussel sprouts, halved
2 tbsp avocado oil
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 pieces uncured bacon
TAHINI SAUCE
1/4 cup tahini
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp warm water
1 tsp parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare brussel sprouts by washing and halving all and putting in a large bowl.
Drizzle the avocado oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper on the brussles and mix until all of them are covered in spices.
Transfer the brussels sprouts to a large sheet pan, making sure none are on top of each other. Cut the slices of bacon into small pieces and add to the pan, evenly spacing them out.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, until brussels sprouts are tender but crispy, and bacon is fully cooked.
While those bake, whisk together tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, water and parsley in a small bowl to prepare the tahini sauce. Drizzle over brussel sprouts and bacon and serve.
