These Hot Honey Brussels Sprouts with Bacon are a delightful combination of crispy, caramelized sprouts and savory, smoky bacon, all drizzled with a sweet and spicy honey glaze. The texture is a perfect balance of crunchy and tender, while the flavor experience is a harmonious blend of sweet, spicy, and umami notes that will tantalize your taste buds.


Ingredients

  • Brussels Sprouts: 1 pound, trimmed and halved
  • Bacon: 6 slices, chopped
  • Hot Honey: 1/4 cup (store-bought or homemade)
  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the Brussels sprouts and chopped bacon on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sprouts are crispy and the bacon is cooked through.
  5. Remove from the oven and drizzle with hot honey, tossing to coat evenly.
  6. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the honey.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with additional hot honey if desired.
