1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F. This ensures your Brussels sprouts and bacon will cook evenly and become wonderfully crispy.
2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts
While the oven heats, take your cleaned and halved Brussels sprouts and toss them in a medium bowl with olive oil, a pinch of pink salt, some freshly ground black pepper, and the red pepper flakes. Make sure each sprout is well-coated.
3. Prepare Baking Sheet
Use kitchen shears to cut the bacon slices into 1-inch pieces. Scatter the Brussels sprouts and bacon pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet.
4. Roast Brussels Sprouts and Bacon
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 25 minutes. About halfway through, give everything a good shake or stir to ensure even cooking. You'll know they're done when the Brussels sprouts are crispy and browned on the outside, and the bacon has a delightful sizzle.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Once roasted to perfection, divide the Brussels sprouts and bacon onto plates, then top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately while everything is still hot and crunchy.
