Prep: 10 min · Cook: 28 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Oven

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds brussels sprouts
• 6 ounces bacon
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Trim the Brussels sprouts, remove any damaged outer leaves, and halve the sprouts. Cut the bacon into 1-inch pieces. (about 5 min) — 425°F
2. Arrange the Brussels sprouts and bacon on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toss with the olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper, then spread in a single layer with the sprouts cut-side down. (about 3 min) — 425°F
3. Roast until the bacon is crisp and the Brussels sprouts are browned and tender when pierced with a fork, about 22 minutes. (about 22 min) — 425°F
4. Whisk the maple syrup and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Drizzle over the roasted sprouts and bacon, tossing to coat. (about 1 min) — 425°F
5. Return the baking sheet to the oven for 3 minutes, until the glaze is hot and lightly caramelized. Serve immediately. (about 3 min) — 425°F
