2. **Prepare the Brussels Sprouts**: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. If some of the outer leaves fall off, that’s okay—they’ll crisp up nicely!
3. **Cook the Bacon**: In a skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once crispy, remove the bacon and set it aside on a paper towel to drain. Keep a little of the bacon grease in the skillet for flavor.
4. **Toss the Brussels Sprouts**: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. If you like a bit of tang, add a splash of balsamic vinegar.
