- 3 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper
3 Easy Steps
- Cook Bacon: Preheat oven 425°F. Cook chopped bacon in large skillet until crispy (8 min). Remove bacon, leave 2 tbsp fat in pan.
- Toss Sprouts: Add halved Brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt, pepper to bacon fat. Toss to coat. Spread on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roast & Glaze: Bake 20 minutes until crispy edges form. Toss with cooked bacon and maple syrup. Roast 5 more minutes until caramelized.
🍁 Pro Tip: For extra crispy edges, don’t overcrowd pan. Line with parchment + preheat baking sheet 5 minutes first. Double bacon = double happiness!
