Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 3-4 c trimmed Brussels Sprouts
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (cut into wedges)
  • 3/4 c pecans, rough chopped
  • 3/4 c dried cranberries
  • 3/4 medium onion (, thinly sliced)
  • 6 slices extra lean duck or turkey bacon
  • 4 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 3-4 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Place all the ingredients, except the bacon in a large bowl. Coat everything with the maple and olive oil.
  • Spread veges on a large roasting pan. Place a cookie rack on top of the roasting pan and lay the bacon on the cookie rack. Roast in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and turn vegetables. Replace bacon rack on top of vegetables and flip bacon.
  • Return to oven and roast for 10 minutes more. If bacon is not crisp enough for your tastes, continue roasting until you get the desired crispiness.
  • When bacon is done, remove it from the oven. Again, turn the vegetables and check them for doneness.
  • Slice or crumble bacon into thin strips and sprinkle on the vegetables.
  • NOTE; If using pork bacon, render some of the fat out of the bacon first, in a separate skillet.
