Keto Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts
I didn’t eat a single brussels sprout until I was at least 26-crazy I know. My grandpa used to call brussels sprouts boiled baby brains to scare the kids away from eating them because they were his favorite. Now that I’ve tried them, I love them and I’m on the same page as my grandpa. I’m sharing this Keto pan roasted brussels sprouts recipe because it is a super simple Keto side dish and it tastes amazing!

Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick cut bacon
- 1 and 1/2 pounds of brussels sprouts-trimmed and cut in half
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- sea salt and black pepper to taste
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Pre-heat the over to 400° F
Step 2
Cook bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, turning once to ensure it is cooked evenly on both sides. Cover pan with a splatter guard while cooking, if desired.
Step 3
Remove skillet from heat and place cooked bacon on a wire rack set over paper towels to drain. Once cool, blot bacon with paper towels to remove excess fat before crumbling
Step 4
After skillet has cooled slightly, carefully drain the excess bacon fat into an empty can or other heat-safe container. If any fat drips down the side of the skillet, be sure to wipe it off with a damp dish cloth before putting it back on the burner
Step 5
In a large bowl combine brussels sprouts and olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste
Step 6
Heat cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add Brussels sprouts and cook for several minutes until they begin to turn brown. Add the crumbled bacon to the skillet and place in the pre-heated oven
Step 7
Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sprouts turn a rich, caramelized color
Step 8
Remove skillet from heat and serve immediately
