In this roasted Brussels sprouts recipe, pancetta—cured Italian-style bacon—seasons sweet Brussels sprouts with a hint of salt and a touch of smoke that goes nicely with the fresh sage. These Brussels sprouts are the perfect vegetable side dish to any turkey, pork or chicken dinner.

Awesomely delicious!
A friend mixed the ingredients at home and then roasted them at my place for a dinner party. It was the only dish that was empty at the end of the evening. She said she made it per the recipe but may have added a bit more salt.
Pros: easy, tastey

Brussels Sprouts for Company
My husband and I like Brussels sprouts so this was an easy yes when looking for a new recipe. We loved it!
I added half again as much pancetta, but I'm not sure you need to.
The following week, friends were coming for dinner. I cautiously asked if they would eat Brussels sprouts. Sure, they replied, but I was still slightly worried. Should not have been. They both went back for seconds, as did we. My friend said that had she not been at someone else's house, she could have easily eaten all of it by herself. Now that's some compliment.
Pros: Easy, fast, tasty
Cons: None
