Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 slices Thick-cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange a large baking sheet so you have room for the sprouts and bacon to roast separately on the same pan.
- In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on one side of a baking sheet, cut-side down if possible.
- On the other side of the baking sheet, spread out the bacon pieces in a single layer.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are caramelized and the bacon is crispy.
- Meanwhile, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until smooth.
- Once the Brussels sprouts and bacon are done roasting, toss them together in the bowl with the glaze until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F oven for 8-10 minutes to revive crispiness.
