Maple Bacon Sprouts



Well I thought I was following a recipe tonight but apparently I was not . . . However, my on the spot made up version of this side dish was delicious.  The sweetness of the maple syrup and the roasting takes away all of the bitterness of the sprouts.

1-2 lbs Brussel Sprouts, trimmed and halved
5 Strips of Bacon, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Maple Syrup

Place sprouts in an oven safe dish, top with the bacon (be sure to separate the slices) and drizzle olive oil over top.  Place in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.  Remove from the oven and pour the maple syrup over top of the bacon and sprouts.  Season with salt and pepper and return to the oven for another 20 minutes.
