How to Make Irresistible Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Trim the ends and remove yellow leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Cut each one in half.
  • Place the halved Brussels sprouts on the lined baking sheet. Slice the bacon into small pieces and sprinkle it over the sprouts.
  • Drizzle olive oil and maple syrup over the mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Once roasted, toss the Brussels sprouts and bacon again to combine flavors. Serve warm.
