Maple Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon
These are not your average brussels sprouts!
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ lbs. Brussels sprouts
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 3 slices bacon, chopped
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
- ¼ tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Trim the ends of the sprouts, if needed. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise and quarter any large sprouts; discard any discolored outer leaves. Place the sprouts in a bowl and toss with the oil, syrup, bacon, salt, and pepper.
Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and heat for 3 minutes. Carefully dump the sprouts on the baking sheet after pre-heating, spreading them out as much as possible, and return to the oven. Roast until tender and slightly charred, 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
