Orange Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
This is my adaptation of a recipe from thehealthymaven.com. It was originally called Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon. However, while it does have maple syrup in it, that flavor was not really noticeable. The orange had a much more prominent presence, so I changed the name and made some changes to the actual recipe. I absolutely love this recipe!!

Instructions
  1. Place a somewhat large cast iron skillet in the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 with the skillet in it.
  2. Meanwhile, get your ingredients prepped. Chop the bacon into bite sized pieces. Set aside.
  3. Zest the orange peel, then juice the orange.
  4. Clean the brussels sprouts, trim the stem ends and cut in half lengthwise.
  5. When your food is prepped and the oven is heated to 425, remove the cast iron skillet and spread the bacon pieces on it. Return to the oven for 5-6 minutes, stirring halfway through. You do not want your bacon overcooked!! It will continue to cook with the brussels sprouts!
  6. Remove skillet from oven and add remaining ingredients. Season with salt & pepper and stir to combine all ingredients.
  7. Return to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  8. Remove from oven and serve.
