Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta
These Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta (or Bacon) are delicious side dish! Perfect for your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table. Ready in 25 minutes.
Brussels sprouts bring up a lot of emotion, either you love them or detest them, there is no middle ground. I LOVE them. How can anyone not?! They’re flavourful little bundles of deliciousness. I grew up eating them boiled and dipped in butter, SO good. But around here I cannot convince my kids that they should like them, in fact they’re pretty adamant that they hate them. Oh well, can’t win them all! Haha
Everything is better with bacon…or pancetta!
If you have not tried Brussels sprouts cooked with pancetta or bacon, you really must! The pancetta adds the most perfect smoky delicious flavour to the sprouts. Then drizzled with balsamic vinegar, oh my, they’re so so Gosh. Darn. Good.
Perfect for any occasion.
These roasted Brussels sprouts can be served alongside a simple roast chicken during the week, or as a side dish with turkey or ham for Thanksgiving or Christmas, they’re really versatile. And you can add more pancetta or bacon if you like, and cook them as much as you prefer…if you like your Brussels sprouts more crispy, cook them longer, they’re really really good that way!

Loved this dish. We love brussel sprouts (it has to be buried in butter and cheese for them to eat them though), but, everyone ate every bite of this. Thank you.
Yay! I’m so happy to hear that! I’m going to be making it again for this weekend…yum!
My family and I love these little green things. They are also good for you. The way you prepared these looks mouthwatering .
I love them too! SO good!
