Roasted Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts With Shallots
Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts combine savory bacon, sweet maple syrup, and tender Brussels sprouts into a great side dish you can be proud of. Whether you're preparing a cozy family meal or hosting a dinner party, this easy one-pan dish is guaranteed to be a hit.
Wash and dry your Brussels sprouts. Cut off the bottom ends and peel off the outer leaves, then add them to a food processor and pulse a few times until you have a mix of shredded and small pieces.
Add shredded Brussels sprouts and sliced shallots to a large bowl. Cut the bacon slices into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl along with the olive oil, maple syrup, and salt. Toss to combine.
Spread the Brussels sprouts mixture in a single layer on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until the brussels are slightly brown and the bacon pieces are crispy.

Expert Tips And Notes
Quality Matters: I'm a big fan of using high-quality, organic ingredients. This is especially important when recipes only call for a handful of simple ingredients. You want to use the best quality you can.
Leave Space: Don't crowd the sheet pan! This will cause your veggies to steam and not roast. You need the space so you can cook to crispy perfection!
