Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 100 grams Pancetta, diced
• 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Trim the stems and remove any yellow or damaged leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Cut them in half lengthwise.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to coat them evenly.

Step 4

Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet, cut side down. Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pancetta from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 6

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the balsamic vinegar and honey. Stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the balsamic glaze over the sprouts and toss to coat.

Step 8

Add the crispy pancetta to the bowl and toss gently to combine.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a savory and flavorful side dish.
