Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts washed and dried
- 5 slices (120 g) diced turkey bacon or pancetta
- 1/4 cup good olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic crushed or finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or more to serve
Preparation
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a large baking pan with nonstick cooking oil spray or a light coating of oil. Set aside.
-
Trim the ends of sprouts and cut in half lengthwise.
-
Arrange brussels sprouts, any loose leaves, bacon and garlic on the pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss well and spread mixture out in a single layer.
-
Roast sprouts, turning once through cooking, until tender with charred edges. The bacon will be cooked and crispy (about for 25-30 minutes).
-
Toss with the balsamic vinegar. Adjust taste with extra salt and pepper, if needed.
