See ’cause a few YEARS ago, my friend Betsy asked me if I thought it was a good idea to add maple syrup to roasted brussels sprouts. And, since I am a firm believer that maple syrup makes everything better, I unequivocally told her yes, try it! She asked how she would go about doing it, and I gave her a verbal run-down.

She went home and tried it and reported back that they were a huge hit. Since then Betsy has been making maple roasted Brussles sprouts on regular rotation since. And she raves about them.

But I never tried it myself.

How is this possible?

So recently when the weather started to get more and more dreary and fallish, and I wanted to do nothing more than bake and roast and cook all the things, I decided to try out roasting Brussels sprouts with maple syrup.

And then I had a little epiphany, which was to add in some bacon too! Because not only do I believe maple syryp makes everything better, I also believe that bacon makes everything better. I happened to have a partial package of McKenzie Cob Smoked Uncured Maple Bacon in my fridge, and I was like, oh that would make this even better! So I crumbled in a few strips.

Friends, I all I am sayin’ is, don’t be a dum dum like me and wait to try these Maple Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts. They are amazing!

How to Make Maple Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts

  • Trim your Brussels Sprouts by cutting the bottoms off and peeling away any dark or discolored outer leaves. Cut the sprouts in half through the stem end, and toss them with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Roast them on high heat (450 degrees F) until they are browned and tender. Brussels are dense, so they take a bit longer than you may think. Around 25 minutes!
  • Mix pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar and coarse ground mustard in a small bowl. Add that to the roasted Brussels with the crumbled cooked bacon and then return everything to the oven to coat the brussels with the maple sauce.
