Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oi - or unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 strips thick-cut bacon, roughly chopped - sugar free, nitrate free suggested
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup - optional
  • 2-3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze - note: glaze will be sweeter so start with 1-2 tbsp and add more as needed, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. To a mixing bowl add trimmed Brussels sprouts, oil, salt, pepper, maple syrup - if using, and chopped bacon. Toss to combine.
  • Add in a single layer to a parchemnt lined rimmed baking sheet.
  • Roast in center rack for 20-25 minutes, flipping half way through.

Notes

Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven or an air fryer at 350°F until warmed through to help them crisp back up - the microwave works in a pinch, but the texture will be softer.
  • To Store. Place leftover Brussels sprouts in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • To Reheat. Rewarm leftovers on a baking sheet in the oven at 350°F until hot. You can also reheat the sprouts in the microwave. 
Balsamic glaze will be sweeter/higher sugar content than vinegar.
