Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I’m 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we’ve assumed to be true about health and wellness...
You really can’t go wrong with Brussels sprouts and bacon. Roasted together, this is a vegetable side dish fit for a holiday feast or even a simple weeknight meal. What makes this particular version extra tasty is a splash of Primal Kitchen® Balsamic Vinaigrette.
Tangy and sweet, Primal Kitchen Balsamic Vinaigrette isn’t just for greens. It’s a perfect marinade for vegetables, too. Made with avocado oil, this vinaigrette is a flavorful and healthy option for high-heat roasting and grilling and coats your veggies with monounsaturated, heart-healthy fats and antioxidants.
You’ll love Primal Kitchen Balsamic Vinaigrette with Brussels sprouts, but try it with any of your favorite roasted veggies. It’s an easy way to add special flavor and more nutrients to almost any type of roasted vegetable.
Servings: 4 to 6
Time in the Kitchen: 10 minutes, plus 35 minutes for roasting
Ingredients
1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and cut in half (or thirds, if the sprouts are really big)
Fresh herb for garnish, such as thyme, oregano or basil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400º F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Toss Brussels sprouts with the balsamic vinaigrette and avocado oil until coated. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Spread Brussels sprouts evenly in one layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
Scatter diced bacon on top.
Roast 35 minutes. Stir several times while roasting, to keep the Brussels sprouts from drying out. Brussels sprouts should be nicely browned before they come out of the oven.
Had to report back that I have made them and they are totally amazing, with our without the bacon. (Bringing them to Thanksgiving without since we have a vegan in the family.) These are going to be in my regular rotation all winter. Will be loading up on the balsamic dressing.

Simple wonderful recipe!
Plain steamed Brussels sprouts are pretty hard to like, but when dolled up a bit (as in this recipe) they are delish.
I am pretty much obsessed with brussels sprouts so will definitely be trying these. Love the new balsamic vinaigrette!
