Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 lb halved and trimmed Brussels sprouts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper on a large baking sheet.
Step 2: Scatter 6 chopped bacon slices over the sprouts and roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway to ensure even browning and crispy edges.
Step 3: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, drizzle 3 tbsp maple syrup and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar over the sprouts and bacon, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
Step 4: Return to the oven and roast an additional 5 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the Brussels sprouts with a shiny, sticky finish.
Step 5: Serve warm as a flavorful side dish.
