These Maple Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts are the ultimate side dish! Fresh brussels sprouts roasted in olive oil, butter, and maple syrup, then tossed with crispy bacon and sprinkled with sea salt. Perfect for dinner anytime and great for the holidays, too!
So I’ve noticed a difference between when I travel for work and when Jorden travels for work. And the difference is in the food. When I’m gone, Jorden feels great about eating our or picking up food for EVERY meal. But when he’s gone? It’s pretty much business as usual.
Which is why the last time he was gone I decided to change that. I mean….why should he have all the fun!? So I decided to do a special dinner with the girls, and I left the type of food up to them. They chose sushi. And the LOVED IT. Now, I have to say…..as much as I adore sushi, I have very mixed feelings about my kids adoring it, too.
Because there are some things I like to count on having all to myself. Like my morning coffee. Or a bottle of wine. Or sushi. And these Maple Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts fit right into that category.
I’ve loved brussels sprouts for as long as I can remember, and I can easily eat the entire batch myself. And I’m telling you…when you combine brussels sprouts with maple syrup and crispy bacon and sea salt? And you roast them? The end result is nothing short of absolutely fabulous.
So fabulous that I decided I should probably eat the entire batch while everyone was at school….just in case. And after devouring them? I can pretty much guarantee they’ll be making an appearance on our holiday table.
Not just for Thanksgiving, but for Christmas, too! We all know I love my Parmesan Roasted Green Beans and my Garlic Roasted Asparagus, but for now, these Maple Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts take the cake. I’m just hoping no one in

I’ve loved brussels sprouts for as long as I can remember too and I can easily eat the entire batch myself as well! Come visit and we can go on a Brussels tour. There are like 10 places here that do them very well, all with a twist. We can critique 🙂

OMG YESSSS!!!!!
Pru Collins says
Yummy, roasted Brussels sprouts are a revelation so much nicer than the boiled slime my mother used to serve, did you also know they make the best soup with some onions and carrots, a brilliant vegy pate cooked with onion and chestnuts until very tender then pureed, also wonderful shredded into slaw. Happy Thanksgiving
Cathy Trochelman says
Yes! I love brussels sprouts ALL ways!
Dina Gonzalez says
We made these Brussel Sprouts for Thanksgiving and they were so YUMMY! It was so simple and easy to make. Making them again tonight.
Maureen says
Trying these tonight!! Can’t wait! Thanks!
Jenjen says
These are very YUMMY! I like that you did not use the grease from the bacon. You got the flavor and saltiness of the bacon without the grease. Definitely will be making these again.

I love Brussels Sprouts. For me, I’ve only known to add butter and salt. I surely will be trying these. I do more with maple syrup, the real maple syrup. I was born and raised in Vermont, the home of maple syrup.
