Delicious oven roasted Brussels sprouts tossed with sweet, salty and smoky ingredients – healthy has never tasted so good!

Oven roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon, cranberries and walnuts

Now that Halloween has passed and daylight saving time is officially over, we are getting one step closer to the holiday season. And what better than serving a bowl of oven roasted Brussels sprouts to celebrate November’s arrival and the soon-to-be family dinners and festive libations coming our way.

To give my oven roasted Brussels sprouts a Thanksgiving theme, I added a couple of strips of bacon, some toasted walnuts and topped the whole thing with dried cranberries.

Gobble, gobble!

We all love bacon and the good thing about bacon is you don’t need to use a lot to flavor salads, pasta, sandwiches, or in this case, a bowl of oven roasted Brussels sprouts. Two or three strips is enough to infuse most dishes with that addictive, salty and smoky combination that’s so hard to resist.

There is no other seasoning (except for an optional teaspoon of a maple syrup) added to this dish either! It already has so much flavor that I didn’t want to mess with the lovely and natural notes each ingredient brought to the party.

This oven roasted Brussels sprouts recipe is low maintenance too: little prep is required and esthetically speaking, it needs no bells and whistles. Look at it, it’s already gorgeous!
