Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
The only brussels sprouts recipe you will need- they are crispy, sweet, tangy, kissed with balsamic vinegar and smokey bacon
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts quartered
- 4 slices bacon diced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 pinch red pepper flake
- 1/2 tsp salt to taste
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Cut Brussels sprouts length-wise into 1/4 pieces (i.e., cut Brussels sprouts in half, and then in half again).
- Cut bacon into ½ inch pieces.
- Combine Brussels sprouts with oil, bacon, salt, pepper, and red pepper flake. Place onto a lined baking sheet in a single layer. Spray with additional oil as needed.
- Roast Brussels sprouts for 30-35 minutes, turning every 10 minutes to allow even roasting.
- When Brussels sprouts have become golden brown and bacon has become crisp, sprinkle minced garlic and splash vinegar evenly onto the sprouts.
- Continue to roast for another 5 minutes or until the balsamic vinegar has begun to thicken and become a glaze.
- Remove from oven, taste for seasoning, and enjoy!
