Instructions
Brussels Sprouts
- Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in the middle position.
- Remove the bottoms and cut the Brussels sprouts in half. Don't discard the individual leaves that come off - these get super crispy in the oven. Add to a large mixing bowl.
- Slice bacon into ½-inch pieces. Add to sprouts and mix to combine.
- Add several tablespoons of neutral oil, several pinches of kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste. Toss to evenly coat the sprouts and bacon. Transfer to a baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 to 30-minutes, flipping one or two times during cooking to brown evenly. Remove from oven and taste for additional seasoning.
- Crumble goat cheese and sprinkle over the top.
- Drizzle with Carolina White Sauce after plating and serve.
Carolina White Sauce
- Mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Allow to sit 5 - 10 minutes for sugar to dissolve, then stir again.
- Drizzle over Brussels sprouts with a spoon or a squeeze bottle.
