My Easiest Way To Cook Brussels Sprouts And Bacon Together
You know what I love even more than the crispiest roasted brussels sprouts or air fryer brussels sprouts ? These brussels sprouts with bacon ! Not only does bacon make everything better, there are several other reasons that this particular method stands out for me:
- Hands off, with no precooking – This is probably the #1 reason I love this method. When I tested this bacon brussels sprouts recipe, I was so happy to find that the bacon cooked with the veggies all in one pan — there was no need to precook it for it to get crispy! (This will also work with other roasted vegetables that cook for around 30 minutes, like roasted cauliflower .)
- The perfect texture – The sprouts are crispy, browned, and caramelized on the outside, and tender on the inside… which is the only way I’ll eat them. And the bacon crisps up in the same amount of time. It’s perfect.
- Simple ingredients – Just 4 of them, plus salt and pepper. If you have brussels sprouts and bacon on hand, you have everything you need to make this dish.
This easy side dish is ready in just 30 minutes, but it also looks pretty, so I’ve served it for all kinds of occasions from weeknight dinners to holiday meals (hello, Thanksgiving!). If you love both crispy brussels sprouts and bacon like I do, make this one with me!
“I 100% believe that bacon makes everything better — and these brussel sprouts are TASTY!! Totally will make again. So much flavor.” –Mason
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ingredients & Substitutions
Here I explain the best ingredients for my roasted brussels sprouts with bacon, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card .
- Brussels Sprouts – Remove any wilted or browned outer leaves, then cut them in half lengthwise (or cut into quarters if they are large). If you need to use frozen sprouts, follow my recipe for roasted frozen brussels sprouts instead — you can still add bacon to it!
- Bacon – My favorite way to cook it is to make bacon in the oven , but when you roast brussels sprouts with bacon, you don’t even need to cook it first! I have used precooked bacon here as well, but add it at the very end to avoid burning it. However, I like the flavor a lot more when adding the bacon raw, because the vegetables absorb some of the bacon fat as they cook.
- Olive Oil – This is important for browning and caramelization, so I don’t recommend reducing the amount. Using less oil will make your sprouts more dry and less caramelized! I chose this regular olive oil , but you can substitute any heat-safe oil you have.
- Seasonings – I seasoned my bacon brussels sprouts with garlic powder , sea salt, and black pepper. Feel free to toss in other seasonings, like paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, or even a sprinkle of parmesan cheese (which is a lot like my parmesan brussels sprouts , but with bacon added).
How To Cook Brussels Sprouts With Bacon
I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card .
- Season the sprouts. In a large bowl, toss them with the olive oil and spices.
- Arrange the brussels sprouts with bacon on a baking sheet. I use either this extra large baking sheet or two jelly roll pans . Add the halved sprouts first, then sprinkle the chopped bacon evenly on top.
- Roast brussels sprouts and bacon together. Once the vegetables are golden brown on the bottom, flip and roast until browned on the other side. (See my tips below for what to do if they are not dark enough by the time they are soft!) Feel free to adjust salt and pepper to your taste.
My Tips For The Best Texture
- For even cooking, choose brussels sprouts that are similar in size. I try to buy medium ones, as those time perfectly with the ideal bacon doneness. If you can only get large ones, cutting them into quarters works fine. I don’t recommend very small sprouts for this recipe, because they get mushy by the time the bacon is crispy.
- A bare or foil-lined pan works better than parchment paper. I always get less browning with parchment paper. Just make sure to oil your pan a bit to prevent sticking.
- It’s important that each sprout is touching the pan. If your pan is too crowded, the vegetables will steam and won’t come out crispy.
- Try to make sure the bacon pieces are not stuck to each other when you sprinkle them over the sprouts. It’s fine if they are touching the sprouts or fall to the bottom of the pan, though.
- Be careful not to overcook. Brussels sprouts get an unpleasant flavor and mushy texture if cooked too long. If they seem tender enough but not dark enough yet, see my next tip…
- Broil if needed for more browning and extra crispy results. I found it beneficial to broil the first time I made these brussels sprouts with bacon, but two other times, they were browned enough without broiling. Whether this is needed will vary depending on the size of the sprouts.
- Flavor variations: I prefer these bacon brussels sprouts as simple as possible, but if you want something extra, add 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, or maple syrup together with the oil. I love doing this with my Wholesome Yum sugar-free maple syrup or sugar-free honey , and as a bonus, the sprouts get extra caramelized with these! See my maple bacon brussels sprouts for full instructions and the best timing to add the syrup.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Bacon
Serving Ideas
I usually serve brussels sprouts with bacon in the fall or winter months, so I like pairing them with cozy main dishes, or sometimes even a sauce. I also love them as an easy addition to a holiday meal! Try them with:
- Weeknight Mains – Whip up my honey garlic chicken or sauteed shrimp in a skillet while the sprouts cook in the oven, or make balsamic chicken or baked haddock in the oven at the same time. I also like air fryer pork chops for an easy hands-off meal.
- Holiday Mains – I especially love this side dish with my roasted turkey for Thanksgiving! For a smaller crowd, try Crock Pot turkey breast , turkey legs , or even (my personal fave) spatchcock chicken . It’s also the perfect veggie to go with Instant Pot short ribs , crab legs , or prime rib for December holidays.
- Sauces – When I want extra flavor, I drizzle my bacon brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze or tahini sauce , or dunk them in garlic aioli .

The Basic Keto Meal Formula
Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.
Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.
Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.
| Pick A Protein | Pick A Veggie | Add Fat |
|---|---|---|
| Beef Chicken Pork Eggs Lamb Turkey Fish Shellfish Protein powder Venison | Cauliflower Broccoli Zucchini Leafy Greens Cucumbers Brussels Sprouts Cabbage Asparagus Radishes Bell Peppers Jicama Celery | Butter Avocado Oil Cheese Bacon Avocado Lard Ghee Mayo Nuts MCT Oil |
Understanding Macros
Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.
You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.
Carbs Are A Limit.
Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.
A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.
“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.
A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.
Protein Is A Goal.
Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].
“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.
Fat Is A Lever.
Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.
A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).
Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.
Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.
“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.
Keto Food Swaps
One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.

Keto Food List
When looking for a keto cheat sheet printable, the most-requested information is a keto food list.
The great thing is that keto doesn’t have to feel restrictive. It’s incredibly satisfying and there’s such a wide variety of foods you can eat!
Foods To Eat On Keto
- Leafy greens – Such as spinach, chard, and lettuce.
- Above-ground veggies – Such as peppers, zucchini, and cauliflower.
- Full-fat cream & cheese – Such as heavy cream, sour cream, and full-fat hard cheeses.
- Natural meats – Such as beef, lamb, and pork.
- Berries – Such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
- Avocados
- Unsweetened nut milks – Such as almond milk and coconut milk.

Electrolyte Basics
Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.
For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .
The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.
Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:
| Sodium | Magnesium | Potassium |
|---|---|---|
| Bone broth Boullion cubes Bacon Salted nuts Pickles | Seaweed Seeds Nuts Avocado Leafy greens | Potassium chloride Avocado Bone broth Spinach Broccoli Mushrooms Beef Pork |
Keto Diet Types
People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.
Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.
Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!
- Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
- Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
- Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
- Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.
