Can I make this a keto-friendly sprout recipe?

Yes, absolutely. To make keto-friendly sprouts, substitute the honey with a sugar-free syrup or a monk fruit sweetener blend that mimics the texture of honey.

Is this a gluten-free savory-sweet side?

Yes, this recipe is naturally gluten-free. Just ensure that the bacon you purchase does not contain any gluten-based additives or flavorings.

Can I prep this sheet-pan roasted sprouts with bacon dish ahead of time?

You can trim and halve the Brussels sprouts up to 2 days in advance. Store them in the fridge. However, for the best crispy texture, roast them just before serving.

How do I make honey-balsamic Brussels sprouts?

Simply whisk 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar into your 3 tablespoons of honey before drizzling it over the roasted vegetables in step 6.

What if I don't eat pork?

You can substitute the bacon with turkey bacon (add a little more oil as it is leaner) or use caramelized brussels sprouts with pancetta beef alternatives for a similar salty kick.

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs (700g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

6 slices bacon, chopped into 1-inch pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half.

3. In a large bowl, toss the sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

4. Spread the sprouts in a single layer on the baking sheet and scatter the chopped bacon pieces around them.

5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until sprouts are tender and bacon is crispy.

6. Remove from the oven, drizzle with honey (and balsamic if using), and toss gently on the pan to coat.

7. Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes to let the glaze caramelize.

8. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crunch, add pecans in the last 5 minutes of roasting.

To make this keto-friendly, substitute honey with a sugar-free syrup alternative.

Ensure the sprouts are in a single layer to roast them properly instead of steaming.
