Balsamic Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Description
Balsamic Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon highlights halved Brussels sprouts roasted with olive oil alongside chopped bacon. The roasting process at a high temperature crisps the sprouts and bacon, enhancing their textures. After roasting, the dish is tossed with maple syrup and balsamic vinegar, introducing a sweet and tangy finish that complements the savory elements.
The combination provides a satisfying contrast between crisp, tender roasted vegetables and salty, crunchy bacon. The glaze brings brightness and depth without heavy sauces.
This recipe can be served as a side for dinner or offered as a warm appetizer. It pairs well with hearty mains, balancing richer proteins with earthy vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- kosher salt fresh ground, to taste
- black pepper fresh ground, to taste
- 4 lices Bacon chopped
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° F. Place the halved brussels sprouts onto the sheet pan and drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over them. Season with salt and pepper then toss together with your hands. Add the bacon onto the sheet pan and toss again. Make sure that the brussels sprouts are in a single layer.
- Roast the brussels sprouts for 12 minutes then remove from the oven and toss them around so that the other side gets crispy. Place them back in the oven and roast another 10-12 minute or until they are browned and crisp.
- Once they're out of the oven toss everything together with the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. Pour them into a serving bowl and garnish with flaky sea salt and an extra drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
