  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Ensures a rich flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Essential for seasoning

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar until smooth.
  3. On the prepared baking sheet, space out the halved Brussels sprouts in a single layer, add the remaining balsamic vinegar, olive oil, diced bacon, and minced garlic.
  4. Toss the Brussels sprouts, ensuring they are well-coated with the oil, bacon, garlic, and vinegar.
  5. Roast in the oven for 12-14 minutes until the sprouts are tender and caramelized.
  6. Stir in the honey mixture and serve while hot for the best flavor experience.
