My girlfriend went to a restaurant and ordered their Brussel sprouts. She sent me a picture and raved about how good they were. I could tell from the pic that there was something else in them. She confirmed there was apple, bacon, shallots and a maple syrup glaze. Of course, we were inspired, or at least I was, to duplicate that. And viola! Here is my duplication, which is completely amazing. The syrup definitely adds a sweet touch against the salty pancetta. If you like that kind of thing, you will love these Brussels.

Ingredients

  • 1-2 pound fresh brussel sprouts
  • 1/2 cup thick pancetta, chopped (you can buy this pre-cut in a package)
  • 3 tablespoons shallots, chopped
  • 1/2 large gala apple, cored and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • dash salt and pepper

How To Make fully loaded roasted brussel sprouts

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Remove from heat once cooked.
  • Step 2
    Place Brussels in a baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and add olive oil. Toss to coat.
  • Step 3
    Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes, turning and tossing occasionally.
  • Step 4
    Meanwhile, over medium heat in a frying pan, saute the pancetta for about 4 minutes, then add the apple and shallot and cook another 4 minutes, or until pancetta starts to slightly brown. I suggest starting just before the Brussels are done.
  • Step 5
    When Brussels are done, remove from oven, add the pancetta mix, and gently toss.
  • Step 6
    Drizzle with syrup, and serve. Enjoy!
