Maple balsamic roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon

Looking for a showstopper side-dish that will be both delicious and low in calories? This is it! 

There is only 2 slices of bacon in this recipe and a mere tablespoon of maple syrup but, combined with the balsamic vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil something magical happens to this admittedly most hated-by-kids vegetable when it roasts in the oven, making it a wonderful treat. Yes! A treat! 

Before roasting…

And they will still taste great the next day as leftovers, reheated….
