Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 4 slices bacon about 5 ounces, not thick cut
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (180°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Trim the ends and remove any discolored outer leaves. Slice the sprouts in half lengthwise.

  • In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil and 1 teaspoon kosher salt until evenly coated.

  • Cut the bacon into small pieces and scatter them over the Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet. Spread everything in a single layer so they roast evenly.

  • Roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are crisp and the bacon is browned.
  • Remove from the oven and drizzle the maple syrup over the hot Brussels sprouts and bacon. Toss gently to coat, then roast for 3–5 more minutes until the edges are caramelized and glossy.

Notes

  • Refrigerate: Let the Brussels sprouts cool completely, then store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
  • Reheat: Warm them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes to bring back their crispiness, or use the air fryer or oven at 375°F for about 5–7 minutes.
  • Avoid freezing: Brussels sprouts with bacon and maple syrup don’t freeze well—they can turn soggy once thawed.
