Trim Brussels sprouts stems and cut in half. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and
roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring half way through. Sprouts are done when beginning to brown, crisp on the outside, and tender on the inside.
Glaze
While sprouts are roasting, add glaze ingredients to small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until glaze is reduced by 25-50% and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
Bacon Crumbles
If using bacon, fry slices in pan over medium heat until almost crispy. Remove slices from pan and place on paper towel; blot grease. Crumble or chop into pieces. Set aside.
Assemble
Drizzle glaze over roasted Brussels sprouts. Sprinkle with bacon, if using. Serve hot.
Enjoy!
