Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts , trimmed and quartered
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup chopped hazelnuts
• 3 slices thick-cut bacon , chopped
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 0.25 cups grated Pecorino-Romano cheese

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. 2 Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until coated. Transfer coated sprouts to a baking sheet.
3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until sprouts are tender, about 15 minutes.
4. 4 Cook and stir hazelnuts in a skillet over medium-low heat until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer hazelnuts to a bowl.
5. 5 Cook and stir bacon in the same skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Add maple syrup and rosemary; cook, stirring often, until the bacon drippings and maple syrup begin to thicken and stick to the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
6. 6 Combine cooked Brussels sprouts and bacon mixture together in a large bowl; toss until sprouts are coated with maple syrup sauce. Sprinkle in hazelnuts, cranberries, and Pecorino-Romano cheese; toss well. This dish is best served warm.
