Brussels sprouts with bacon are roasted on a sheet pan in a 450°F oven and finished with a sticky-sweet balsamic glaze. The crispy edges and smoky bacon take Brussels sprouts to the next level.
Ingredients
2 pounds Brussels sprouts, halved
6 bacon strips, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Instructions
1Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts, bacon, oil, salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a 15x10x1-inch baking sheet. Editor's Tip: Spread out the Brussels sprouts so they have some room to breathe. Overcrowding the baking sheet will cause vegetables to steam instead of brown, preventing the sprouts from reaching their crispiest texture.
2Roast, stirring halfway through cooking, until the sprouts are tender and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
3Drizzle the roasted Brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze, and serve warm.
