Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Spread the sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Scatter the chopped bacon evenly over the sprouts.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar over the sprouts and bacon mixture.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes. Toss halfway through cooking.
- Continue roasting until the sprouts are tender and crispy, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Watch closely so the sugar does not burn.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a similar sticky glaze.
- For extra crispiness, ensure the sprouts are in a single layer without overcrowding the pan.
- If you prefer less bacon flavor, use only 3 slices.
