Ingredients

1 pound whole Brussels sprouts
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Trim and clean the Brussels sprouts, halving any larger ones to ensure even cooking. Place them in a large bowl.
Add bacon, salt, and pepper to the bowl, then drizzle with oil and maple syrup. Toss everything together until the Brussels sprouts are thoroughly coated.
Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring even caramelization.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the Brussels sprouts are beautifully caramelized.
