Description
Maple Bacon Roasted Brussels is a delectable side dish that combines the crispness of Brussels sprouts with the savory flavor of thick-cut bacon, all coated in sweet maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 5 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they’re evenly coated.
3. Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Scatter the chopped bacon evenly over the top.
4. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes without stirring.
5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the maple syrup over the sprouts and bacon. Using tongs, gently toss the ingredients to coat them evenly.
6. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender, caramelized, and the bacon is crisp.
Notes
For a vegan option, omit the bacon and use a plant-based alternative or smoked paprika for flavor.
