Ingredients
- 4 slices gluten-free bacon , diced
- 1½ pounds (680 g) Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and cut in half
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (6 g) kosher or fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon (1.2 g) freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (30 mL) pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
