Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 pound halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper on a baking sheet. Spread them cut side down in a single layer.
  2. Step 2: Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until edges are golden and crispy, shaking the pan halfway through for even browning.
  3. Step 3: While the Brussels roast, cook 4 diced bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 7 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
  4. Step 4: Remove Brussels sprouts from oven and drizzle 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup evenly over them. Toss gently to coat.
  5. Step 5: Return to oven for an additional 5 minutes until the glaze thickens and caramelizes slightly.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately topped with the crispy bacon crumbles for a balanced sweet and savory bite.
