Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that the Brussels sprouts become crispy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut them in half lengthwise.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once done, remove from the skillet and let it cool on paper towels. Crumble into pieces.

  4. 4

    Toast the Walnuts

    In the same skillet, add the walnuts and toast them for about 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Mixing the Glaze

  1. 5

    Prepare the Glaze

    In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Roasting

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, crumbled bacon, and toasted walnuts. Drizzle the maple balsamic glaze over the mixture and toss until evenly coated.

  2. 7

    Roast the Brussels Sprouts

    Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until crispy and caramelized.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve Warm

    Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
