Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts
• 6 slices Bacon
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly, trim off the ends, and cut each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once the bacon is done, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the skillet and discard the rest.

Step 4

Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 6

Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.

Step 7

Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and drizzle the Brussels sprouts with maple syrup.

Step 8

Add the chopped bacon to the Brussels sprouts and toss everything gently to coat evenly.

Step 9

Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and caramelized.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
