Maple Roasted Brussel Sprouts

By KrissyW330

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 lbs Brussels sprouts cut lengthwise
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 shallot, diced
• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 2 Tbsp light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1 1/2 Tbsp cider vinegar
• 6 slices cooked center cut bacon, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in large skillet, add shallots. Saute until clear, approximately 4 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over high heat without stirring until they are browned-about 2 minutes. Add butter and brown sugar. Cook over moderately high heat stirring occasionally until sugar is melted. Add maple syrup and dried cranberries; cook until Brussels sprouts are crisp tender, stirring occasionally, approximately 7 minutes. Do not over stir as Brussels sprouts will fall apart. Stir in vinegar and add chopped bacon.

Transfer to bowl with slotted spoon. Bring liquid to boil and slightly thickened, approximately 2 minutes. Pour over and serve.
