Equipment

Ingredients

2 pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
2 teaspoons canola oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 slices bacon (1/4 pound), thinly sliced widthwise
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons gochujang
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place the Brussels sprouts on a large rimmed baking sheet.
Drizzle the Brussels sprouts with canola oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Turn the Brussels sprouts so that the cut side is down. Sprinkle the bacon pieces evenly over the sprouts.
Place in the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through.
While the sprouts are roasting, whisk together the maple syrup, gochujang, and soy sauce.
Drizzle the sauce over the sprouts, stir, and return to the oven for 1-2 minutes just to heat through.
Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and serve immediately.

Notes

SUBSTITUTIONS:

This flavor combination is also delicious with broccoli, broccolini, and green beans!

TIP:

When trimming and halving Brussels sprouts, wear a disposable glove, fingertip cot, or band-aid to prevent your thumb from getting nicked.

MAKE AHEAD:

Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts in advance, then roast them fresh following the recipe instructions.
