Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb Brussels sprouts halved
  • 6 slices bacon chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  1. Heat oven to 425F and toss sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Spread cut-side down on a sheet pan and scatter chopped bacon over the top.
  3. Roast 25-30 minutes, stirring once, until sprouts are crispy and bacon is rendered.
  4. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and toss right on the pan.
  5. Serve hot while the edges are still crackly.

Notes

Spread them in a single layer so they roast instead of steam.
