The addition of smoky bacon flavored with olive oil and garlic, plus the tartly sweet taste of balsamic vinegar and dried cranberries offset the sprouts’ slight bitterness, giving this vegetable a star-making turn worthy of an appearance on any celebration table. Level Beginner Prep Time 5 minutes Cook Time 35 minutes Serves 4 Cook it With Our Cast Iron Baking Pan Ingredients 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved 6 strips thick-cut bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper ½ cup balsamic vinegar ½ cup dried cranberries, divided Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss Brussels sprouts, bacon, olive oil, and garlic together in a large bowl or resealable bag. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add balsamic vinegar and ¼ cup of dried cranberries. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until liquid has reduced by half, about 10-12 minutes. Strain and discard dried cranberries. While the balsamic is reducing, spread the Brussels sprouts and bacon evenly on the baking pan. Roast for 25-30 minutes*, stirring halfway through. Remove from oven, and drizzle with balsamic reduction. Garnish with remaining ¼ cup dried cranberries. *Tip: If you like your Brussels sprouts to have a little more color, let them roast for another 5 minutes or so. Just make sure to keep an eye on them.
