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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the Sprouts: Pour the glaze over the Brussels sprouts and toss well to ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 3: Add Turkey Bacon
- Incorporate Bacon: Fold in the chopped turkey bacon, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 4: Roast
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts and bacon mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer to promote even roasting.
- 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
- Drizzle with Balsamic: Once the Brussels sprouts are out of the oven, drizzle them with balsamic vinegar for a tangy finish.
- Garnish: If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve Warm: Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy immediately
