    Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta are crispy, tender, caramelized, and perfectly flavorful. Tossed in maple syrup, mustard, and diced pancetta. The perfect fall or winter side dish.

    Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta are a great side dish in the fall or winter. I love serving them with another protein like chicken or pork - like these pecan crusted pork chops. I even love to add these to my Thanksgiving or holiday dinner - pair with an air fryer turkey breast and Boursin mashed potatoes.

    ⭐Why I Love Them:

    • Maple Mustard Sauce - The maple syrup and mustard-based sauce adds a slight sweetness that is perfect for this fall or winter side.
    • Caramelized - Roasting the Brussels sprouts give the edges that perfect golden, caramelization.
    • Crispy Pancetta - Salty pancetta pairs well with the slightly sweet roasted Brussels sprouts.

    🥘Ingredients:

    • Brussels Sprouts - To prep Brussels for cooking, you'll trim the ends and cut them in half lengthwise (through the end that you trimmed). Sometimes the trimming causes some of the outer leaves to separate - you can just discard those. Also try using Brussels to make these Air Fryer Crispy Brussels Sprouts or Pomegranate Brussels Sprout Salad.
    • Olive Oil - You could substitute another cooking oil like canola oil or avocado oil.
    • Pure Maple Syrup
    • Mustard - both regular dijon mustard and whole grain mustard
    • Diced Pancetta
    • Salt and Pepper

    🔪Step by Step Instructions:

    An easy sheet pan side dish that is ready in about 30 minutes!

    Photo 1 - Preheat the oven. Trim and clean the sprouts and add to a large bowl. Mix together the olive oil, dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, maple syrup, salt and pepper. Fold in the Brussels sprouts and pancetta. Add the prepared sprouts to the sheet pan and spread out into an even layer so there is space.

    Photo 2 - Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. They should be fork tender with some caramelized bottoms and edges. Remove from the sheet pan while they are still warm so they don't stick.

    🍽Leftovers and Storage

    Roasted Brussels sprouts are best served immediately after making, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for later.

    Leftovers and Storage: Leftover Brussels Sprouts can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days.

    Reheating: To help crisp up the Brussels again, I recommend reheating in the oven at 350 degrees F until warmed.

    💭Recipe Tips:

    • Don't Overcrowd Brussels Sprouts -You want the Brussels sprouts to have space on the baking sheet. If they're too close together, they will steam instead of roast.
    • High Heat - Cooking them at a higher temperature will roast them and give nice caramelized, crispy bottoms.

    👩‍🍳Recipe FAQs:

    How do you roast Brussels Sprouts so they are not soggy?

    They key is to roast the Brussels sprouts at a high heat and to not overcrowd the baking sheet. If they're too close together on the pan, they will steam instead of roast.

    How do you prep Brussels sprouts?

    Start by using a paring knife to trim off the ends. Then discard any loose outer leaves or outer leaves that are blemished. If cutting in half, make sure to cut down the length so the leaves stay intact at the core.
