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.

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 Read More
