DIRECTIONS: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Prepare a large baking sheet with a light coating of oil or nonstick spray. Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and slice each one in half lengthwise. Place the Brussels sprouts, bacon, and minced garlic on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together to coat and spread out in an even layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the sprouts halfway through, until they are tender and the edges are caramelized. The bacon should be crispy. Remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Toss to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
