# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Those crispy, caramelized edges are absolutely addictive and keep everyone coming back for more.
- Takes less than 40 minutes from prep to plate, perfect for weeknight dinners or when you need something impressive fast.
- The smoky turkey bacon cuts through the earthiness of the sprouts in a way that feels both comforting and sophisticated.
02 -
- Don't crowd the pan or everything steams instead of roasts, so spread those sprouts out even if it feels sparse.
- Stirring halfway through is non-negotiable if you want even browning on all sides.
03 -
- A pinch of smoked paprika sprinkled on before roasting adds a deeper, more complex smokiness that builds on the bacon flavor.
- Toss everything while it's still hot and the glaze is warm so it clings to every piece instead of just settling at the bottom of the platter.
