Our Balsamic Maple Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts recipe combines the sweet and savory flavors of maple syrup and bacon with the tang of balsamic vinegar. It's a quick and easy side dish that will delight your taste buds and complement any main course perfectly.
Instructions:
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim the stems and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts.
- Cut larger Brussels sprouts in half, leaving smaller ones whole so they cook evenly.
- Cut the bacon strips into small pieces, about 1 inch in size.
- In a large bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
- Add the prepared Brussels sprouts and bacon pieces to the bowl with the marinade.
- Toss everything together until the Brussels sprouts are well-coated with the mixture.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts and bacon evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure there's some space between the sprouts so they roast properly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. The Brussels sprouts should be tender and golden brown, with the bacon crispy.
- Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Give the Brussels sprouts a quick final toss to redistribute the flavors.
- Serve your Balsamic Maple Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts hot as a delicious side dish.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Consider using parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup.
- Toss the Brussels sprouts halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
- For crispier bacon, consider pre-cooking it slightly before mixing it with the Brussels sprouts.
- If you prefer a stronger flavor, let the Brussels sprouts marinate in the balsamic, maple syrup, and olive oil mixture for 15-30 minutes before roasting.
And there you have it! Balsamic Maple Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts that are perfectly caramelized, crispy, and packed with flavor. This dish is sure to win over even the most skeptical Brussels sprouts eaters and make a welcome addition to any meal. Enjoy!
