Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss 1 lb trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper in a large bowl.
Step 2: Spread the Brussels sprouts evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Scatter 4 diced bacon strips and 2 thinly sliced shallots over the sprouts.
Step 3: Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and edges are lightly browned.
Step 4: Remove from oven and drizzle 2 tbsp pure maple syrup over the hot Brussels sprouts mixture. Toss gently to coat the sprouts, bacon, and shallots evenly with the syrup.
Step 5: Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the glaze is sticky and caramelized. Serve warm.
