Roasted Brussels Sprouts are my favorite way to them! These ones roasted with maple syrup and tossed with bacon and sweet potatoes are perfectly amazing!

Preheat oven to 400°F Place all the ingredients, except the bacon in a large bowl. Coat everything with the maple and olive oil.

Spread veges on a large roasting pan. Place a cookie rack on top of the roasting pan and lay the bacon on the cookie rack. Roast in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and turn vegetables. Replace bacon rack on top of vegetables and flip bacon.

Return to oven and roast for 10 minutes more. If bacon is not crisp enough for your tastes, continue roasting until you get the desired crispiness.

When bacon is done, remove it from the oven. Again, turn the vegetables and check them for doneness.

Slice or crumble bacon into thin strips and sprinkle on the vegetables.

NOTE; If using pork bacon, render some of the fat out of the bacon first, in a separate skillet.

This sounds great! I had never even tasted sprouts when I was growing up, and when I finally tried them as an adult I was shocked to find out how much I liked them. Now I try new sprout recipes whenever I get a chance!
I’m the same way, Elizabeth! I love them now! Let me know how you like them when you give them a try! Thanks for your comment!

This would definitely make a great side to any meal. Love the addition of caramelized onions.
Caramelized onions are great in just about any dish. Aren’t they, Stephanie? Thank you so much for your comment!
