Ingredients
-
1 pound Brussels sprouts, cut in half
-
2 Anjou pears, cubed
-
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
1 onion, diced
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
salt to taste
-
1 slice bacon, cut into small pieces, or more to taste
-
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking pan.
-
Combine Brussels sprouts and pears in a bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, diced onion, garlic powder, and salt. Spread into the prepared pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until browned and tender, 25 to 30 minutes, tossing after 15 minutes to brown evenly.
-
While baking, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
-
Drain bacon grease form the skillet and discard; add remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar to the skillet. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reduces slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour over roasted mixture and serve.
Cook's Notes:
You can use any firm and slightly green pear variety that you prefer.
You can use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder, if desired.
