Roasted Brussel Sprouts with bacon and an easy balsamic glaze. Add grated parmesan cheese for extra zest!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Line two rimmed baking sheet pans with parchment paper
Wash and dry the sprouts before cooking
Trim the bottom of the Brussel sprouts and cut in half
Toss the Brussel sprouts with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste
Spread the Brussel sprouts on to the rimmed baking sheets and cook for 30 minutes. Toss the sprouts half way through to brown them evenly.
Check at 25 minutes for crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Combine the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar in a saucepan. Gently bring to a boil, then reduce heat.
Reduce heat to medium low, simmering the sauce while the Brussel sprouts cook.
Glaze will become thick and have a syrupy consistency. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
Crumble cooked bacon and reserve.
Grate parmesan cheese and reserve.
Toss the roasted Brussel sprouts with the crumbled bacon, if using, and put on a platter. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the roasted Brussel Sprouts. Sprinkle parmesan over the top, if using. Server hot with LiveOcean Mediterranean Style Seasoned Salmon. Enjoy!
