- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp Honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse and trim the Brussels sprouts, removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet, cut side down.
Step 5
Scatter the diced bacon over the Brussels sprouts.
Step 6
Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
Step 7
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the balsamic glaze by whisking together balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Step 8
Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze over them, tossing gently to coat.
Step 9
Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer for a crowd-pleasing addition to any meal.
