Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF (218ºC) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Spread out bacon pieces on parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes or until it just starts to brown. Prep remainder of ingredients while bacon is cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine brussels sprouts, ghee, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Once the bacon is done, add brussels sprouts to baking sheet and stir well with a spatula to combine. Roast for 13-15 minutes for medium-sized brussels sprouts. Adjust cook time based on the size of your sprouts.
  5. In the same large bowl, combine brussels sprouts, bacon, cranberries, pecans, and maple syrup. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Spoon the maple bacon brussels sprouts into a 9x13 baking/serving dish and return to the oven for another 5 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Can increase to 1lb if you really like bacon and don't mind the extra calories 😉 // For low carb/keto replace maple syrup with Lakanto maple flavored syrup. For keto, you can omit the cranberries, replace with fresh cranberries and roast with brussels, OR make your own sugar free dried cranberries (see notes in text above for recipe!). // This recipe cannot be pre-made ahead of time because the brussels sprouts can get soggy. But you can certainly precook the bacon and get everything prepped ahead of time so that when your turkey comes out of the oven you can just throw this in!
