Can I reheat Brussels sprouts?

While Brussels are at their best right of the oven, this recipe can be reheated fairly well with a toaster oven or air fryer. Microwaving will soften the Brussels while overcooking the bacon.

How do I make my Brussels sprouts extra crispy?

* Roast them at a high temperature in a hot oven. This is why we do 450°F. * Peel lots of outer leaves off and let them get charred. * Make sure the Brussels are turned face down and bake them on the lowest rack. * Make sure there is a lot of room on the baking sheet. Overcrowding will steam them instead of roasting--preventing them from getting crispy.

Can I make these in advance?

I'd recommend serving these right after they come out of the oven. Brussels Sprouts tend to get a little soggy after sitting for a while.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Cut the roots off of the Brussels and slice them in half.
Place the Brussels sprouts in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle uncooked bacon pieces over the sprouts and toss with your hands. Spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure the Brussels sprouts are cut side down.
Roast the Brussels sprouts for about 20 minutes, until they start to brown and the bacon is crispy.
While Brussels are roasting, make your Honey Balsamic Drizzle: In a small pot, stir together honey and balsamic vinegar and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half and the liquid becomes syrupy. This takes roughly 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn or overcook. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Remove Brussels from the oven, toss them, and drizzle immediately with the balsamic vinegar. Taste for seasoning and add salt or pepper to your preference. Serve immediately.

Notes/Tips

A food processor or mandolin will make chopping of the Brussels sprouts go more quickly.
Goat cheese crumbles would be a delicious addition to this recipe at the end!
If you don’t want to make the sauce they are delicious just as Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon.
