Description
A flavorful side dish featuring roasted Brussels sprouts paired with crispy bacon and a sweet tangy balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with the chopped bacon. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Toss until well coated.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts and bacon mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are in a single layer.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and the outer leaves are crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the roasted mixture. Add honey if desired, toss gently to combine, and let sit for about 5 minutes.
- Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even roasting. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
