Grandma's Special Brussels Sprouts (You Won't Say Eeeewww) image

This recipe is from my Grandma Burk who sugar coated veggies so that we kids would eat them. I loved these growing up and I love them now. A special (kinda) sweet sauce with bacon makes those sprouts sublime.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less maple syrup next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sprouts didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I'll try roasting them at a higher temperature next time.

I'm not a huge fan of Brussels sprouts, but I have to admit, these were pretty good. The crispy bacon and sweet maple syrup helped to balance out the bitterness of the sprouts.

These are the best Brussels sprouts I've ever had. I'll definitely be making them again.

I've tried other roasted Brussels sprouts recipes before, but this one is definitely the best. The sprouts were perfectly cooked and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor.

I wasn't sure about the combination of maple syrup and balsamic vinegar, but it totally works! The sprouts were caramelized and flavorful.

These sprouts were a hit! I've never been a fan of Brussels sprouts, but this recipe changed my mind. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious sweet and savory flavor. My whole family loved them.
