  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

Brussels Sprouts:

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

Honey Glaze:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Additions:

  • 4 ounces turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare Sprouts: Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, removing any tough outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2: Season and Coat

  1. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Coat the Sprouts: Pour the glaze over the Brussels sprouts and toss well to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 3: Add Turkey Bacon

  1. Incorporate Bacon: Fold in the chopped turkey bacon, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 4: Roast

  1. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts and bacon mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer to promote even roasting.
  2. Roast: Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized and the turkey bacon is crispy.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

  1. Drizzle with Balsamic: Once the Brussels sprouts are out of the oven, drizzle them with balsamic vinegar for a tangy finish.
  2. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for an extra layer of flavor.
  3. Serve Warm: Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy immediately
