Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds small Brussels sprouts trimmed and outer leaves discarded
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ pound thick-cut bacon cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup hot honey

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Place a sheet of parchment paper on a large baking sheet
  • Drizzle ¼ cup olive oil over the parchment.
  • Cut Brussels sprouts in half and scatter them on the parchment paper, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Using your hands (or tongs), toss the Brussels sprouts to mix them thoroughly with the oil and seasoning.
  • Scatter the cut bacon around the Brussels sprouts, ensuring the bacon is separated and not clumped together.
  • Drizzle the remaining oil over the Brussels sprouts and bacon and place the baking sheet in the oven.
  • Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the bacon is crisp, and the Brussels sprouts are nicely browned and fork-tender.
  • Drizzle with hot honey until lightly coated and serve while still warm.

Notes:

Ensure the Brussels sprouts are all about the same size so they roast evenly. If some are larger, cut them into quarters for consistent browning and texture.
Use thick-cut bacon. Thin slices will cook too quickly and get too crispy and burnt by the time the Brussels sprouts are done.
Don’t overcrowd the pan; space allows the honey Brussels sprouts to caramelize beautifully.
Roast until the Brussels sprouts are tender (not soft) for the best texture and taste.
If the Brussels sprouts are getting too dark,  cover with foil and continue roasting until they are tender.
