Ingredients

Instructions
  1. 1
    Preparation1- Preheat the Oven Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Ensuring the oven is properly preheated helps achieve a crispy texture on the Brussels sprouts. 2- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts Trim the ends of 1 pound of Brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise. Trimming the ends and cutting them in half ensures even roasting and caramelization. 3- Cook the Bacon In a skillet, cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon, leaving the drippings in the pan. Cooking the bacon first adds a rich flavor to the dish and creates a tasty base.

    Roasting1- Combine Ingredients In a bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Coating the Brussels sprouts evenly ensures they caramelize beautifully and absorb the flavors. 2- Roast the Brussels Sprouts Spread the Brussels sprouts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes until they are caramelized and tender. Make sure to check and toss the sprouts halfway through roasting for even browning. 3- Add Bacon and Serve Crumble the cooked bacon over the roasted Brussels sprouts and serve hot. The crispy bacon adds a savory crunch to the sweet and caramelized Brussels sprouts.
