Sweet and Savory Honey-Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Ingredients:
1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
4 slices bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Scatter the chopped bacon over the Brussels sprouts.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and crispy on the edges.
While the Brussels sprouts roast, mix honey, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl.
Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, remove them from the oven and drizzle with the honey glaze. Toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately as a sweet and savory side dish with a delightful crunch from the bacon!
