Using just five ingredients, this roasted Brussels Sprouts dish is totally addictive! The contrasting flavors of sweet orange, lightly smoky bacon, and caramelized Brussels sprouts come together perfectly. Keep in mind that smaller sprouts will cook quicker, so check on them as they roast.

This vegetable side dish was a winner in The 2018 Old Farmer’s Almanac Recipe Contest. Thank you to Jennifer Miessau from East Haven, Connecticut.
