The final speedy recipe in my series of four sprout side dishes (check out the others here – 3 cheese sprout gratin , honey balsamic sprouts with almonds and shaved sprout salad with honey mustard dressing).
Baked Parmesan Sprouts with Bacon
Ingredients
- 400 g sprouts
- 1 medium egg
- 1 tbsp cold water
- 75 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 4 strips of fried/grilled bacon - chopped into small pieces (I used smoked streaky bacon)
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F and get a medium baking tray ready.
- Peel the outer leaves from the sprouts, and chop the ends of the stalks off. Chop the sprouts in half.
- Break the egg into a bowl and whisk together with the water.
- Place the grated parmesan in another bowl.
- Dip one of the sprout halves in the egg, then roll in the parmesan until fully coated. Place on the baking tray. Repeat with the rest of the sprouts.
- Try to keep the sprouts on one layer - it's ok if they're a little tightly packed though.
- Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the golden.
- Remove from the oven. Sprinkle on the cooked bacon and parsley, then serve.
