Smashed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Maple Glaze

Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables – even my kids love them – though many look at me like I’m crazy when I include them on my recipe lists and books. My original Smashed Brussels Sprouts recipe is a fan favorite so I’m updating it with a holiday spin for the Thanksgiving table.

I love ChocZero‘s or Lakanto’s sugar-free maple syrup for these…your guests will never know this tangy and smoky recipe is sugar free!

Smashed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Maple Glaze

Smashing the brussels sprouts before roasting allows the bacon and sugar-free maple syrup to soak into the nooks and crannies of the sprouts for maximum flavor.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons Lakanto or ChocZero sugar-free maple syrup
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400℉
  • Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  • Fill a medium saucepan 3/4 full of water and add some kosher salt. Bring water to a boil.
  • Once boiling, add your Brussels sprouts and boil for about 5 minutes.
  • Drain, pat dry and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Using the bottom of a glass, lightly “smash” the Brussels individually and press them into little patties. I don’t smash them too much – just enough to crack them open.
  • Drizzle the avocado oil over the sprouts, and sprinkle evenly with garlic powder and bacon.
  • Drizzle maple syrup evenly.
  • Roast in oven for 10 – 15 minutes until tops of sprouts begin to caramelize.
