In the Oven
serves 4
These Brussels sprouts roast until caramelised at the edges while the bacon turns crisp and savoury on the same tray.
A quick balsamic and honey glaze adds sweetness and acidity, making this an easy low-carb side for roast dinners, festive meals or weeknight plates.

Heat the oven to 220°C / 200°C fan and line a large tray with baking paper.
Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt and pepper on the tray, then spread them cut-side down where possible.
Scatter over the bacon and roast for 22-25 minutes, turning once, until the sprouts are golden and the bacon is crisp.
Meanwhile simmer the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small pan for 2-3 minutes until lightly syrupy. Stir in the Dijon if using.
Tip the sprouts and bacon into a warm serving bowl, drizzle with the glaze and toss gently. Finish with parsley and extra black pepper.
