# Tips from dashanddishes:
01 -
- The turkey bacon gets perfectly crisp while infusing every sprout with smoky flavor
- Even people who swear they hate Brussels sprouts have been converted by this recipe
- Everything cooks on one sheet pan so cleanup is practically nonexistent
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the enemy of crispy sprouts so give them room to breathe
- Stirring halfway through prevents the bottom pieces from burning while the top ones stay pale
- The sprouts continue to cook slightly after leaving the oven so pull them when they look almost perfect
03 -
- Buy sprouts that feel heavy for their size with tight compact heads
- Let the baking sheet cool slightly before transferring so the sprouts release easily
