• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

3/4 cup pecans

4 slices turkey bacon

2lbs brussels sprouts, trimmed and sliced in half

3 tbsp avocado oil

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

3 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp maple syrup

1/4 cup dried cranberries

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Add chopped pecans and toast for 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook your turkey bacon on the stove about 5 minutes each side. Let cool – it will crisp up during cooling.

Raise oven heat to 425F and prepare brussels sprouts by adding them to a parchment lined baking sheet and tossing them with avocado oil. Flip them all over so they are face down. Remove from oven after 20 minutes.

While they are baking, whisk together balsamic vinegar and maple syrup.

Toss brussels sprouts with salt and pepper, then add vinegar mixture. Toss to coat.

Chop up turkey bacon, then add turkey bacon, pecans, and cranberries to brussels sprouts.

Stir to combine and serve immediately!
