Oven Roasted Garlic Brussels Sprouts

You can reduce or increase the amount you want to make, just use an appropriately sized baking dish, and adjust garlic and seasonings.

2 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved 

5 cloves garlic, minced fine or pressed through a garlic press
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Crispy Bacon to garnish, if desired.

Move oven rack to the upper third and preheat to 425 degrees.

In a 9x13 inch baking dish, toss together Brussels sprouts, garlic, water, oil, salt and pepper and spread out in a single layer.

Bake for 40 minutes, tossing once, about 25 minutes into cooking time. Remove from oven and toss Brussels sprouts in the pan scraping up brown bits into the sprouts. Garnish with crispy bacon.
