These Maple Bacon Balsamic Brussel Sprouts are a weeknight staple in our house but would be a great last minute side to add to your Thanksgiving menu.

Ingredients

1 lb. Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
3 cloves garlic, minced
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 slices bacon, diced into pieces
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. Places the brussel spouts and garlic on a large baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss until combined. Add the bacon to the pan and spread everything out evenly, laying the brussels spouts cut side down.

Bake until brussels are tender and charred, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, and rosemary. Simmer until reduced by half, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes (the mixture should coat the back of a spoon). Let cool.

Drizzle roasted brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze and serve.
