Description

These Brown Sugar Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts are a delightful combination of crispy, caramelized edges and a sweet, savory flavor profile. The rich aroma of bacon mingles with the earthy notes of Brussels sprouts, creating a mouthwatering dish that is both comforting and indulgent.


Ingredients

  • Brussels Sprouts: 1 pound, trimmed and halved
  • Bacon: 6 slices, chopped
  • Brown Sugar: 1/4 cup, packed
  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon
  • Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Garlic Powder: 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts, chopped bacon, olive oil, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and the bacon is crispy.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: You can prepare the Brussels sprouts and bacon mixture a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator until ready to roast.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Substitutions: For a vegetarian option, substitute bacon with smoked tempeh or omit it entirely and add a dash of liquid smoke for flavor.
