Ingredients

  • 1 -1.5 lbs Brussels sprouts
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • Ground black pepper to your liking
  • Salt to taste optional
  • 4-5 pieces of bacon nitrate free, cut into small pieces *

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper (or aluminum foil, lightly greased).
  • Trim the flat stem ends of the brussels sprouts and then peel away the first layer of leaves, removing any discolored leaves until a fresh sprout is revealed. Cut each sprout in half through the stem or leave them whole if they are small.
  • Place the cut brussels sprouts in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, 1 Tablespoon maple syrup, black pepper and salt. Stir until evenly coated. Evenly spread the brussels sprouts on the parchment-lined baking pan.
  • Roast for 30 minutes, stirring every ten minutes. Meanwhile heat a small skillet over medium high heat. Add the cut up bacon and cook until crispy. Place the bacon on a paper towel lined bowl to absorb the grease.
  • After 30 minutes, remove the brussels sprouts from the oven. Mix in the cooked bacon until well incorporated. Then drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon maple syrup over the whole thing. Stir well to combine and return the pan to the oven for an additional 5- 10 minutes until nicely caramelized and fork tender.

Notes
*I used kitchen scissors to cut the raw bacon into smaller pieces. I find its easier to cook the bacon when you initially cut it into smaller pieces. However, you can cook the bacon and then cut into small pieces.
