Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • Aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed and cut in half lengthwise
  • 6 strips thick-cut bacon
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up, and place the Brussels sprouts in the center.
  • Cut the bacon crosswise into ¼-inch pieces. Place them on top of the Brussels sprouts.
  • Drizzle the pan with olive oil and maple syrup and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Gently mix until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated, then spread them into a single layer on the baking sheet, breaking apart the bacon and scattering it evenly throughout.
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the Brussels sprouts are lightly charred on the outside, tender in the center, and the bacon is crisp.
  • Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as desired. Enjoy hot.

Notes

TO STORE: Place cooked Brussels sprouts in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. TO REHEAT: Add leftover cooked Brussels sprouts to a lightly oiled baking sheet. Rewarm in the oven at 350°F for 5 or so minutes, until heated through. You can also reheat them on a plate in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute. TO FREEZE: Because they can become soggy, I don’t recommend freezing roasted Brussels sprouts. However, if you end up with lots leftover, you certainly can freeze them. Place cooked Brussels sprouts in an airtight, freezer-safe container and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let roasted frozen Brussels sprouts thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat as directed above.
