Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until golden brown and tender, 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt 1 TBSP butter in a small microwave-safe bowl, 30 seconds. Stir in maple syrup until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
Bacon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
Once Brussels sprouts are cooked, toss with maple butter and chopped bacon. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Sweet and salty combo of maple, bacon, and Brussels sprouts delighted many. Some enjoyed adding Parmesan or raisins for extra flavor.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make. Cooking bacon in the oven alongside sprouts streamlined the process for some.
- Suggestions: Consider using half the maple syrup for a less sweet version. Try tossing with a salad or other veggies for variety.
- Portions: Several found the Brussels sprouts portion small; consider adding extra sprouts to stretch the dish.
Reviews from our home cooks
Amazing! This simple recipe is one of my favorites. So easy and taste is out of this world- I threw half on my salad with my caprese and it brought that up a notch!!!
This dish was just amazing. The combo bacon, maple and brussels is one I would never have come up with on my own.
This is so yummy. It's actually easier to cook the bacon with the sprouts in the oven
I'd get these again for sure and I cooked the bacon in the oven with the sprouts
Small portion of Brussels sprouts, too much bacon. Added my own Brussels sprouts for a right portion.
Not enough for 2 as a side..., how about 10-12oz sprouts. Doesn't need more bacon -- just veg.
Nothing like bacon on Brussels sprouts. We added some fresh Parmesan
Loved this dish, just wish I had the option to change the quantity to a larger batch.
I added a handful of raisins and enjoyed this recipe. 💗
Was delicious I mixed with other veggies taste was yum
