Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts 2, 12-ounce bags, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise
  • 3 Tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 1/2 Tablespoons maple syrup divided
  • 8 strips turkey bacon cut into 1” cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the halved Brusssels sprouts onto the baking sheet and drizzle with oil, kosher salt, 
garlic powder, pepper and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Cover the pan with foil and bake 
for 20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the cut bacon in a medium bowl with 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
  4. Remove the pan from the oven and uncover it. Use a spatula to mix around the Brussels sprouts. Sprinkle the maple-bacon on top.
  5. Return the pan to the oven and increase the temperature to 425°F. Bake for 25-35 minutes, mixing halfway through, or until the Brussels sprouts and bacon are crispy.
  6. Remove from the oven and drizzle with remaining 1⁄2 tablespoon maple syrup.
  7. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve.

Recipe Notes

* Insanely delicious! Obsessed! I could eat the whole pan, but I’m saving it for guests tonight :) 

*  I like adding the maple syrup in parts to make sure that all the components get sweet. I also add a bit at the end since sometimes it just needs an extra fresh drizzle that isn’t cooked off. 

* I’d easily double this recipe for a crowd! 

* I used avocado oil, but someone can totally make it with olive oil too.
