Make-Ahead Tips

If you’re like me, saving time is crucial, especially after a long morning of shopping. You can easily prep this dish ahead of time. Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts the night before and keep them in the fridge. You can also pre-cook the bacon and store it in an airtight container. When it's time to cook, just toss everything together and roast – easy peasy!

How to Customize Your Brussels Sprouts?

Everyone has different taste preferences, which makes this recipe delightfully adaptable. For a bit of spice, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. Want to make it a little more indulgent? Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the top before serving. If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, simply skip the bacon and maybe add some toasted pecans or walnuts for crunch.

Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • Baking sheet
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Skillet
  • Slotted spoon
  • Paper towels

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 6 slices of bacon chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your Brussels sprouts cook evenly and get perfectly crispy.
  • Prep the Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and then halve them. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  • Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it’s crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Toss with Oil and Seasonings: Drizzle the Brussels sprouts with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Give them a good toss to make sure they’re evenly coated.
  • Add Maple Syrup: Add the cooked bacon and maple syrup to the Brussels sprouts. Toss again to combine.
  • Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • Serve Immediately: Once they’re done roasting, serve the Brussels sprouts hot. Enjoy the sweet and savory flavors together!
