Ingredients

Method

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees

• Take some Brussels sprouts and halve them if small—quartering the larger ones so that they are

roughly about the same size

• Slice some shallots and toss with the sprouts

• Cook a little bacon until rendered and starting to crisp

• Toss the sprouts and shallots with some of the bacon fat or olive oil, and lightly season with salt &

pepper

• Arrange on a baking sheet and place in the oven at 325 degrees until the Brussels sprouts are

lightly caramelized, about 15 minutes or so depending on your oven

• Remove from the oven and place in a sauté pan with a little butter. When the sprouts are hot and

the butter melted, drizzle and toss with a little real maple syrup

• Taste and correct the seasoning. The sprouts should taste mildly sweet from the syrup, but make

sure you can taste the salt & pepper—you want to balance the flavors, and remember that the

bacon adds salt as well. Too much syrup would be cloying. Enjoy.
