Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs (675g) brussels sprouts
- 7 ounces (200g) bacon slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 cloves garlic pressed through a garlic pressed or chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the Brussels sprouts and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim the ends, discard any discolored outer leaves, then cut them in half. You can leave very small Brussels sprouts whole and cut very large ones in three or four parts.
- Cut bacon slices into smaller pieces.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, and lemon juice.
- Add all the ingredients to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season well with salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are soft and browned and the bacon is crispy and caramelized. If, after this time, the sprouts and bacon are not well-browned, place the baking sheet under the broiler (or increase the temperature and turn on the fan setting) for 1-2 minutes, or until well-browned and caramelized (watch them closely so they won't burn).
- Enjoy!
