- 200 grams Bacon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and pat them dry. Trim the ends and remove any yellowed or damaged leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.
Step 3
Dice the bacon into small bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 5
Place the halved Brussels sprouts on a large baking sheet. Add the diced bacon on top.
Step 6
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the sprouts and bacon. Sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together on the baking sheet to coat evenly.
Step 7
Spread the mixture out into a single layer on the baking sheet for even cooking.
Step 8
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are caramelized and tender, and the bacon is crispy.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the roasted Brussels sprouts and bacon. Toss lightly to combine.
Step 10
Serve hot as a flavorful side dish or appetizer.
