A delightful twist on roasted Brussels sprouts, featuring sweet pears and crispy bacon for a perfect balance of flavors.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lining the baking sheet makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, pears, red onion, and bacon. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and mustard seeds. Toss to coat evenly.
Ensure all pieces are evenly coated for consistent roasting.
Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized.
Stirring halfway ensures even cooking and prevents burning.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar to create the glaze.
Whisk until the glaze is smooth and well combined.
Drizzle the glaze over the roasted mixture and toss gently to coat. Serve warm and enjoy!
Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
