- 5 slices Bacon regular cut, chopped
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil or avocado oil
- 3 tsp Steak Seasoning click for my recipe
- 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey regular or hot honey or truffle honey all work
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.
- Prep the Brussels sprouts. Trim the ends, remove any loose outer leaves, and cut them in half. Keep the loose leaves because they get crispy in the oven.
- Season. Add the Brussels sprouts to a bowl with olive oil and steak seasoning.
- Toss the brussels sprouts to coat them
- Add the bacon. Spread the Brussels sprouts on the sheet pan in a single layer, cut-side down when possible. Scatter the chopped bacon around the pan.
- Roast for 30 minutes, flipping half-way through.
- Mix and drizzle honey balsamic: Mix the balsamic and honey in a small bowl. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Drizzle it over the brussel sprouts and bacon. Return the sheet pan back to the oven and cook for 3-5 more minutes to cook until the brussel sprouts are browned and the bacon is crisp.
Notes
- Use regular-cut bacon: It crisps in about the same time as the Brussels sprouts. Thick-cut bacon may need to be chopped smaller or partially cooked first.
- Give the sprouts space: If there are too many Brussels sprouts on the pan, they steam instead of roast. Use two pans if needed.
- Roast cut-side down: This helps the flat sides brown and caramelize.
- Save the loose leaves: They get extra crispy in the oven and add great texture.
- Add the honey balsamic at the end: This keeps the honey from burning while still giving the sprouts a sweet-tangy finish.
- Reheat for the best texture: Warm leftovers in the oven or air fryer so the bacon and edges crisp back up.
