Easy oven roasted brussels sprouts recipe with maple glaze and topped it up with crispy bacon. A quick and simple meal for the family. Dairy-free. Nut-free.
I am hoping that you like Brussels sprouts too. This late summer vegetable is good for you. Although it is available all year long in the grocery store, and the frozen one also always available for sure, but it is actually one of late summer crop. That is why I like about to eat in the season ideas because it does not only save you on grocery budget but it also gives you seasonal varieties, so we don’t have to eat the same thing over and over again.
Brussels sprouts are great on raw salad and also very tasty roasted on its own or mix it with other vegetables. Here I make Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Bacon. Cook the bacon until crispy while you bake the brussels sprouts and crumble it. You can also use the ready bacon bits if you preferred.

- black pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup

The natural taste of brussels sprouts is a slightly nutty flavor just like broccoli or kale. Because of I have a daughter who has a nut allergy, so I add pumpkin seed instead of nuts to the recipes. It adds crunch to the roasted brussels sprouts. If you are not into maple syrup, you can definitely replace it with honey.
Oh yea, try these recipes too for a quick and easy meal for any busy weekdays.
