1 large bag of Brussel sprouts or a stalk 1/4 C. of EVOO
1 T. minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
7 pieces of crispy bacon.

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Toss the sprouts, EVOO, garlic, salt and pepper. Bake the sprouts for 20-25 minutes until charred. Do not over cook or they will be mushy and most people do not like them this way. They should be like biting a nectarine…not hard like an apple and not soft like an overripe peach. Remove from oven and mix with bacon pieces. Serve immediately.
