# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The turkey bacon gets incredibly crispy while the sprouts turn sweet and caramelized
  • Ready in 35 minutes but tastes like something from a restaurant
  • Pairs with literally everything from weeknight chicken to holiday roasts
02 -
  • Crowding the pan makes sprouts steam instead of roast, so give them space
  • The bacon on top keeps the sprouts from burning while still getting crispy
  • A squeeze of lemon at the end cuts through the richness beautifully
03 -
  • Smaller sprouts caramelize faster, so sort by size before roasting
  • The turkey bacon should be chopped into bite sized pieces for even cooking
