These mini keto Brussels sprout sliders are the perfect snack or breakfast to fuel hunger with protein and fiber!
Slider buns get a veggie makeover, ditching the bread in favor of roasted Brussels sprouts. The vibrant sprouts are first roasted to tenderize and lightly brown the outside before being topped with a slice of hardboiled egg and smoky bacon! These 4-ingredient sliders are a great post-workout snack or breakfast to pack in big flavor in a small portion.
When looking for Brussels sprouts, choose the largest ones you can find so they can be topped with the hardboiled egg. Pasture-raised bacon adds meaty goodness and breakfast appeal to the recipe. Hardboiled eggs are a less messy way to add an egg and a dose of protein. The eggs can be prepared a day or two in advance for easy assembly.

- Allow five extra minutes of baking if they are still tough after 20 minutes.
- The sliders are best eaten right after assembling for best flavor and texture.
- This recipe can easily be doubled to serve a crowd.
