Candied Brussels Sprouts are cooked with bacon and coated with a sweet glaze. The glaze gets wonderfully caramelized and makes the sprouts taste like candy. It’s so hard to stop eating them. How To Serve Candied Brussels Sprouts make a wonderful holiday side, but they are easy enough to prepare for a weeknight meal. Ingredients Needed Bacon– I like to use thick-cut for this recipe. Brussels Sprouts– trim the stem end and cut each one in half. Olive Oil– It’s best to use regular olive oil, not extra-virgin when cooking at high heat. Salt and Pepper Butter– forms the base of the glaze. I use salted, but unsalted is fine. Soy Sauce– adds some salty flavor. Can be substituted with Worcestershire sauce. Light Brown Sugar– dark brown sugar can be used instead. Dijon mustard– adds a little depth of flavor. How To Make Prepare pan and oven. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy clean-up. If using aluminum foil, spray it with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roast the Brussels Sprouts and Bacon. Drizzle the brussels sprouts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread them out on the baking sheet and then sprinkle bacon evenly on top of Brussels sprouts. Bake. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway. Prepare the Glaze. While the brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the glaze. Add all ingredients to a small saucepan or skillet and heat over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add glaze. Pour glaze over the Brussels sprouts and return to the oven for 5 minutes. Recipe Tips The glaze is added just for the last 5 minutes so that it only caramelizes and doesn’t burn. This recipe can easily be doubled but you will need to use 2 baking sheets. For a nutty crunch, add some chopped pecans or walnuts when you add the glaze to the Brussels sprouts. Make it spicy. Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the glaze. Storage Leftovers will keep for 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator and can be reheated in the microwave, air fryer, or oven.
