Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

02

Step
0 mins

Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until coated. Transfer coated sprouts to a baking sheet.

03

Step
15 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until sprouts are tender, about 15 minutes.

04

Step
5 mins

Cook and stir hazelnuts in a skillet over medium-low heat until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer hazelnuts to a bowl.

05

Step
10 mins

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.

06

Step
0 mins

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.

For extra depth of flavor, consider using smoked bacon.
Toast the hazelnuts in the oven alongside the Brussels sprouts for efficiency.
If you don't have Pecorino-Romano, Parmesan cheese makes a fine substitute.
Fresh thyme can be used in place of rosemary.
The salad can be prepared ahead of time and gently reheated before serving.
