The Holidays

When the ‘ber months roll around, also known as September, October, November, and December there’s an internal joy that explodes! These are my favourite months, and the holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas make it extra special. These oven roasted sprouts are one of my favourite sides to serve at the dinner table especially during the holidays. They are an excellent source of antioxidants, contain very little calories, high in fibre, and loaded with vitamin C and K. Coupled with this, they are super tasty and a must to try if you haven’t already!

How to Make Oven Roasted Sprouts

It’s so simple! Start by preheating the oven to 425°F (220°C). Then wash and trim the ends of the brussels sprouts. Cut in half, lengthwise and place on a lightly greased sheet pan. Add in the bacon, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Place in oven for 25-30 minutes (we want crispy edges). You can choose to broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes to get them even crispier and caramelized (might not be necessary). Drizzle with balsamic reduction & you’re done!

Drizzle Generously & then T-O-S-S!

    I’m a big fan of roasting brussels with bacon but I had never tried it with balsamic glaze. What a great addition! That little pop of acidity really sets them off. This will be my go to recipe from now on.

    Hi! I loved this! So good…never roasted brussels before…and the balsamic is what made it perfect. I also added onions with the brussels which carmelized and gave a touch of sweetness. I also drizzled a bit of honey to mix with the balsamic glaze. Perfect!
