Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water, trim the stems, and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
Peel the shallots and slice them thinly into rings or half-moons.
Cut the bacon slices into small pieces, about 1/2-inch wide.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, shallots, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprout mixture out on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
Scatter the bacon pieces evenly over the Brussels sprouts and shallots.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring the mixture halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are browned and caramelized and the bacon is crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and, if desired, drizzle the roasted Brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar for a touch of sweetness.
Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy!
