Ingredients:

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (optional for drizzling)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the Brussels Sprouts:

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half. Scoop out a bit of the center of each sprout half to create a small pocket for stuffing.

Roast the Brussels Sprouts:

Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Place them cut-side down on a baking sheet.

Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the sprouts are golden and crispy on the edges.

Prepare the Stuffing:

In a small bowl, mix the crumbled bacon and feta cheese together.

Stuff the Brussels Sprouts:

Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Spoon a small amount of the bacon and feta mixture into the hollowed-out center of each Brussels sprout half.

Bake Again:

Return the stuffed Brussels sprouts to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the feta is slightly melted and the bacon is warmed through.

Drizzle and Serve:

If desired, drizzle the balsamic glaze over the stuffed Brussels sprouts for an extra layer of flavor.
