Ingredients
1½ pounds Brussels Sprouts, halved (or quartered for faster cook time)
2 strips thick-cut, un-cooked bacon, diced
For bourbon-maple marinade:
Morton® Fine Sea Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
¼ tsp paprika
¼ cup Bourbon
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
Steps
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Cut Brussels sprouts and un-cooked bacon. Set aside.
In a large glass bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients.
Add Brussels sprouts to the bowl, toss to coat and marinate 15 minutes. Stir in the bacon.
Spread Brussels on a large foil-covered, greased baking sheet. Season with more pepper and Morton® Fine Sea Salt.
Roast on the low oven rack until tender on the inside (about 30-35 minutes), crispy on the outside, stirring occasionally.
Pssst: Some Tips
- Avoid crowding Brussels sprouts on the pan (that will steam them).
- Try liquid smoke as a sub for Bourbon.
- Quarter Brussels for faster roast time.
