Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 6 slices Bacon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly, trim off the ends, and cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once the bacon is done, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the skillet and discard the rest.
Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and drizzle the Brussels sprouts with maple syrup.
Add the chopped bacon to the Brussels sprouts and toss everything gently to coat evenly.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and caramelized.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
