Canna-Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, these Canna-Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon bring the perfect blend of smoky, savory, and herbaceous flavors to your plate. Infused with cannabis oil and paired with the irresistible crunch of bacon, this dish is a flavorful and elevated side to any meal.

Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 4 slices of thick-cut bacon, chopped
• 2 tablespoons cannabis-infused olive oil
• 1 tablespoon regular olive oil (optional for milder cannabis flavor)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional garnish: grated parmesan or freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat oven:
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Brussels sprouts and bacon:
   Place the halved Brussels sprouts and chopped bacon on the baking sheet. Drizzle with cannabis-infused olive oil (and regular olive oil if using). Sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together to evenly coat.
3. Roast:
   Spread the Brussels sprouts and bacon out in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sprouts are caramelized and crispy on the edges, and the bacon is fully cooked.
4. Serve:
   Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with parmesan or parsley if desired. Serve warm as a delicious side dish or snack.

Tips

• For evenly crispy sprouts, ensure they're not overcrowded on the baking sheet. Use two sheets if needed.
• Adjust the amount of cannabis oil for your preferred potency.
• Pair these roasted sprouts with a grilled protein or enjoy them on their own for a bold, flavorful treat.
