Tips:

  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end of each sprout and remove any outer leaves that are loose or damaged.
  • Slice the Brussels sprouts: For smaller sprouts, you can slice them in half or quarters. For larger sprouts, you may need to cut them into smaller pieces.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy: This will add a delicious smoky flavor to the dish. You can cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes.
  • Roast the Brussels sprouts: Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Add the bacon and balsamic vinegar: Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, add the cooked bacon and balsamic vinegar to the pan. Stir to combine and cook for a few minutes, or until the balsamic vinegar has reduced and thickened.
  • Serve warm: Brussels sprouts with bacon and balsamic vinegar are best served warm. You can garnish them with fresh parsley or chives for extra flavor.
