Prep & Bake Hot Honey Bacon Brussels
Includes recyclable aluminum tray | 2 Servings
Is it ever a bad idea to pair Brussels sprouts and bacon? We think not. For a side that’s easy to prep (and even easier to clean up), you’ll roast Brussels sprouts alongside smoky bacon in a recyclable oven-ready tray. Then, you’ll simply top the browned, tender sprouts with hot honey and balsamic vinegar for a spicy, sweet, and tangy finish. *Nutrition values are representative of a 1/2 bundle serving*

Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Slice bacon into ¼-inch pieces. In oven-ready tray, toss Brussels sprouts with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Evenly top Brussels sprouts with bacon. Once oven has preheated, roast on top rack until Brussels sprouts are browned and bacon is cooked through, 15-20 minutes. Drizzle with hot honey and half the balsamic vinegar. Serve.
If the tray is dented in transit, no worries! Simply smooth it out with your fingers.
Bacon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
The brussel sprouts were fresh and they cooked to the right tenderness texture. The vinegar and honey flavors are wonderful. I might suggest telling the customer to mix the two flavors before drizzling on top. Possibly cooking the bacon a few minutes first in the oven would help crisp it better? I had to cook mine about 25 minutes to get the bacon done.
I typically make Brussel sprouts with bacon and basalmic. But addi g Mike's hot honey on top makes this dish so delicious you could eat it as a dessert.
Really enjoyed Brussel sprouts this way. The bacon with the basilica and hot honey was a nice combination of salty, sweet and savory.
Love this one. It does take awhile to prep with cutting up the bacon, cooking it then cooking then cutting the Brussels sprouts & cooking. But worth it!
The balsamic vinegar and hot honey over powered the taste of the brussel sprouts and bacon. If I order this again, I will skip the vinegar and honey.
These were good but they required extra cooking to cook the bacon. I broiled the Brussels sprouts to cook the bacon more. I broiled them for about 3 minutes.
Great dish. I think it's good with just the hot honey, the balsamic vinegar did overpower so I didn't get the hot honey flavor.
I think a whole pkg of bacon is too much. If I make this again, I'll use 1/2 a pack and save the rest for another use...
The bacon grease in this really hurt my stomach. I would suggest the recipe drain a bit of the bacon grease before proceeding.
I had to cook mine longer. I live in higher altitude and wanted it crispy
