🥓 Honey-Glazed Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon 🍯🌿
A sweet and savory side dish that’s crispy, caramelized, and downright delicious. These honey-glazed Brussels sprouts with bacon will steal the show at any meal—trust me, even the Brussels skeptics will come back for seconds!
🛒 Ingredients:
For the Brussels Sprouts:
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved 🥦
2 tbsp olive oil 🫒
1 tbsp honey 🍯
1/2 tsp salt 🧂
1/4 tsp black pepper 🌶️
For the Bacon:
4–6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped 🥓
Optional: 1–2 tsp balsamic vinegar for extra depth 🍷
👩🍳 Instructions:
Preheat Oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Prep the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Save about 1 tbsp of the bacon grease.
Toss the Brussels
In a large bowl, mix Brussels sprouts, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, and the reserved bacon grease. Toss until evenly coated.
Roast It Up
Spread the Brussels sprouts cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and caramelized.
Finish & Serve
Remove from the oven and toss with the crispy bacon. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar if using. Serve hot and enjoy the crunch + sweet glaze combo! 😍
🌟 Pro Tips:
Add a handful of toasted pecans or dried cranberries for a festive twist.
For extra caramelization, broil the last 2 minutes.
Try maple syrup instead of honey for a cozy fall flavor 🍁
