Brussel Sprouts

I found this recipe at Sweetpea Lifestyle

• Half pound of fresh Brussels Sprouts, cut into quarters
• 5-6 slices of Bacon, cut into bite size pieces
• 2 Tbs Olive Oil
• Pinch of Salt & Pepper
• 2 Tbs Brown Sugar
• 1 Tbs Aged Balsamic Vinegar (the super thick stuff!) + more drizzled over

Begin cutting your bacon into pieces. (I'm going to try Turkey Bacon for mine) Separate and place on a half sheet pan. Turn your oven to 400˚ and put the pan of bacon in while it preheats.

Quarter your sprouts while the bacon gets all crispy and beautiful. Coat the sprouts with Olive Oil, salt, and pepper. (The oil is there to help the salt & pepper stick!) Once the bacon is done, remove from pan to drain on a paper towel. Add the sprouts to the pan and place back in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Turning a couple times. You want each sprout to become brown and crunchy on the sides. Not burned. Just dark and crunchy.
During the last 3 minutes of cooking, add bacon and sprinkle two tablespoons of brown sugar over the top along with the one tablespoon of aged balsamic vinegar. Toss to coat and place back in oven for 3 minutes.
Remove and place in serving dish. Drizzle extra vinegar over the top as desired.

Now I know that just 2 tablespoons of brown sugar is not a lot if these things are a good as I think they will be I may be eating a lot of them. I thinking to try a touch of molasses.

What's your thoughts?
