Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss 1 pound halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 2: Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Scatter 4 chopped bacon strips over the sprouts. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through until Brussels sprouts are tender and bacon is crisp.
Step 3: In the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle 1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans over the Brussels sprouts and drizzle 2 tablespoons maple syrup evenly on top. Continue roasting until pecans are toasted and glaze is sticky.
Step 4: Remove from oven, toss gently to combine all flavors, and serve warm.
