Instructions
Step 1
Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2
Prep your Brussels sprouts by cutting the ends off and slicing them into quarters. Don’t throw away the loose leaves. Save these for extra crispy pieces while baking.
Step 3
Toss the sprouts in oil, salt and pepper on top of a sheet pan.
Step 4
Roast for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Step 5
Slice the bacon into ½ -inch thick pieces. Add the bacon to a pan on medium heat and cook until it becomes crispy. Then use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon to a paper towel.
Step 6
Add balsamic vinegar to a small pot. Simmer this on medium heat for 10-12 minutes, until it’s reduced by a third to a half. You should have about 3 tablespoons remaining in the pot. Then turn off the heat. (Do this step while the bacon is cooking)
Step 7
Drain the bacon grease, but keep one tablespoon left in the pan.
Step 8
Add the diced onion to the pan and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the crispy bacon, give it a stir, and turn off the heat.
Step 9
Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven. Add the onions and bacon and drizzle with the balsamic reduction. Stir everything together and serve!
