Crispy roasted Brussels sprouts meet smoky bacon, a drizzle of sweet maple syrup, and a touch of tangy balsamic vinegar for a flavor-packed dish that’s equal parts savory and indulgent. P
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels, but reserve about 1-2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan.
Season the Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, reserved bacon grease, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Add Maple and Bacon: Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven, and drizzle with maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle the crispy bacon over the top, and toss everything together to coat evenly.
Serve: Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm. Dobar tek!
