Honey-Glazed Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon is a delicious side dish that balances the earthy flavor of Brussels sprouts with the sweetness of honey and the savory goodness of bacon! Here’s how to make it:
Honey-Glazed Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Ingredients:
For the Brussels Sprouts:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Bacon:
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
-
Prepare the Brussels sprouts:
- Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half. Make sure they are all roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
-
Prepare the bacon:
- In a medium pan, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy (about 6-8 minutes). Once done, remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside, leaving a little of the bacon grease in the pan for flavor.
-
Toss Brussels sprouts:
- In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
-
Roast the Brussels sprouts:
- Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts evenly on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down. This helps them get a nice crispness.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
-
Combine the bacon and Brussels sprouts:
- Once the Brussels sprouts are done, remove them from the oven and place them in a serving dish. Top them with the crispy bacon and drizzle a little more honey on top if you like.
-
Serve:
- Serve immediately as a delicious side dish, and enjoy the sweet and savory flavors!
This dish is great as a side for dinner or as part of a holiday spread. The honey adds a touch of sweetness that complements the salty bacon and the earthy Brussels sprouts perfectly! Let me know how it turns out! 😋
