Ingredients

  • 2 pounds brussels sprouts ends removed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup
  • 4 slices bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
  • Salt and pepper to season

Garnish with:

  • Pomegranate arils
  • Balsamic glaze or pomegranate molasses

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with oil and maple syrup and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Add the seasoned sprouts to a baking sheet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan (overcrowding will prevent them from getting crispy).
  • Sprinkle the bacon slices over top.
  • Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, toss, and then return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and top with pomegranate arils and balsamic glaze (or pomegranate molasses) when ready to serve.
  • ENJOY!
