One-Pan Smashed Brussels Sprouts
This smashed brussel sprouts recipe is straight up perfection and doesn’t require any parboiling or steaming. It’s a one-pot side dish that’s much less complicated than the others! In this easy recipe, crispy bacon and salty parmesan cheese are baked right on top to create a crunchy crust that’s completely divine. Vegan recipe is also included in the notes!
Ingredients

Notes
If you’d like to make them vegan, just skip the parmesan and bacon, toss once more and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes. When they're done, finish with lemon juice and fresh pepper for more flavor!
