Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Pecans, Bacon, and Cranberries — Delicious winter veggies roasted to perfection and then drizzled with honey and balsamic vinegar. This is the perfect side dish for the holiday season.

One of my all time favorite veggies here lately is roasted brussel sprouts. Earlier this year, I shared with you my Honey Butter Roasted Brussel Sprouts and now, I am sharing another great way to make this hearty winter veggie.

What really sets this dish off and makes it the perfect holiday side dish are the fresh cranberries I used. Because they are fresh cranberries, they are a little tart, but pairs well with the sweetness of the honey. If you want it sweeter, I would suggest using dried cranberries, but I liked the combination of the tart and sweet flavor combined.

This recipe is very simple and does not require a lot of time or energy put into it. So let me show you how easy it is to make.

How to Make Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Pecans, Bacon, and Cranberries

Start by slicing the ends off of your brussels and splitting them in half. Lay them cut side down on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and add a whole bag of cranberries to the tray as well. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Roast in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes.

While the veggies are roasting, cook a 12 ounce pack of bacon until crispy. Chop up and set aside.

Once the veggies are done roasting, remove from the oven. Sprinkle the bacon over the top and add in 1 cup of chopped pecans. Mix together well.

Drizzle over two tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Place back in the oven for 10 minutes.

Mix together and serve to your guests!

I told you it was a simple and easy to make. Not a lot of fuss, which is my favorite kind of side dish to serve.
