4
1 pound organic Brussels sprouts, rinsed and patted dry
2 tablespoons Natural Grocers® Brand Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1⁄2 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Real Salt
1⁄2 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Ground Black Pepper
½-1 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Red Chili Flakes
5 slices Natural Grocers Brand Hickory-Smoked Uncured Bacon, cut into ¼-½-inch pieces
3 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Raw and Unfiltered Clover Honey
Natural Grocers Brand Organic Shaved Parmesan Cheese, optional for topping
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat up. Trim the bottom of the Brussels sprouts and then slice in half from top to bottom, discarding any discolored outer leaves.
  2. Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl and add the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to coat the sprouts.
  3. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread the Brussels sprouts over it, cut-side down, in one layer.
  4. Return the baking sheet to the center rack and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove when the Brussels sprouts are golden brown. 
  5. Meanwhile, cook the bacon. Place a heavy-bottomed skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the cut bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until brown and crispy, 6-8 minutes (watch carefully to prevent burning). Once done, use a slotted spoon to scoop the bacon bits out of the pan, letting the grease drip off, and transfer to a small bowl. Set aside.
  6. Warm the honey and chili flakes in a small pan on the stovetop for 3-5 minutes or in a small bowl in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Stir to combine. 
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, add the crispy bacon, and drizzle the hot honey evenly over the top. Gently toss to combine. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper or chili flakes if desired. Top with shaved Parmesan cheese if desired and serve immediately.
