If you think you don’t like Brussels sprouts, this recipe might just change your mind. These Honey-Glazed Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon are crispy, caramelized, and deeply flavorful—a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savory. With golden edges and smoky bacon bits tossed in, this is a side dish that wins over even the skeptics. Whether you’re hosting holiday dinner or making a weeknight feel special, this one-pan wonder is a must-try.


Why I Love This Recipe

There’s something magical about the combination of roasty, nutty Brussels sprouts, crispy bacon, and a drizzle of honey. It’s a recipe that turns humble ingredients into something truly craveable. Plus, it’s easy to prep ahead, made on a single sheet pan, and just as good at room temperature—making it ideal for entertaining or meal prep.


Ingredients

For the Brussels Sprouts:

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Bacon:

  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped

🕒 Prep Time: 10 minutes
🔥 Cook Time: 25–30 minutes
🍽️ Serves: 4–6


Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Oven & Pan

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

In a bowl, toss halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

3. Roast

Spread the Brussels sprouts cut-side down on the baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway, until golden and caramelized.

4. Cook the Bacon

While the sprouts roast, cook chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

5. Combine & Finish

Once the sprouts are tender and crisped, remove from the oven. Toss with the cooked bacon and an optional extra drizzle of honey for even more glaze.

6. Serve

Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer. Garnish with a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of fresh thyme for a gourmet finish.


Tips for Success

  • Cut sprouts evenly for uniform cooking—halve any large ones again.
  • Roast cut-side down to maximize caramelization.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan—space the sprouts out for crispy edges.
  • Drizzle honey after roasting if you want an extra layer of sticky sweetness.

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

  • Pair with One-Pan Breakfast Bake for a savory weekend brunch.
  • Serve alongside Cheesy Chicken Sliders for a party-ready spread.
  • Add it to your weeknight table with Dorito Casserole.
  • Keep things light with Blueberry Lemonade.
  • Finish the meal with Copycat Neiman Marcus Cookies for a sweet-savory balance.

Storage & Leftover Tips

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
  • Use leftovers in salads, grain bowls, or breakfast hash.
  • Prep ahead by trimming sprouts and cooking bacon in advance.

Final Thoughts

These Honey-Glazed Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon are the definition of elevated simplicity—crispy edges, savory depth from bacon, and just the right amount of honey to bring it all together. Whether served on a holiday table or with a weeknight dinner, they’ll earn rave reviews and repeat requests.
