Balsamic Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
mylifeinbalancegroup.com/balsamic-brussels-sprouts/These balsamic Brussels sprouts are just too good! Roasted until crispy and tender then tossed in a delicious balsamic maple glaze, finished off with lots of salty bacon.
Recipe Makes (Approximate):
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts (trimmed and cut in half through the core)
- 5 ounces bacon (diced into 1/4-inch pieces, cooked until crisp, and drained)
- 6 tablespoons neutral oil (like avocado oil)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400º F.
- In a small saucepan, add the balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by half. Remove from the heat and stir in the maple syrup. Don't let it get too thick or it will become nearly solid!
- Place the sprouts on a baking tray - don't crowd them. Coat the sprouts with oil so they don't stick and bake for 30-40 minutes, tossing halfway in between, until browned and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with the balsamic-maple reduction. Toss again to coat with reduction and top with bacon. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
These balsamic Brussels sprouts are best eaten right away. To reheat, scatter the sprouts on a baking sheet and broil about 10" underneath broiler for about 5 minutes or until heated through but not browned further.
