Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Sprouts
  • 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon cut into pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Glaze
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
Garnish
  • 1/4 cup pecans toasted, chopped
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes optional

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 425F with a sheet pan inside.
  2. Toss sprouts and bacon with oil, salt and pepper. Spread cut side down on the hot pan.
  3. Roast 15 minutes without stirring, then stir and roast 8 to 10 minutes more.
  4. Whisk maple, balsamic and mustard. Drizzle over and roast 3 to 5 minutes until glossy.
