Instructions
Prep the Sprouts
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Trim and halve the brussels sprouts and pat dry.
Cook the Bacon & Aromatics
In a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat, add chopped bacon and cook until crisp; remove with a slotted spoon leaving about 1 tablespoon fat in the pan, add olive oil if needed, then add minced garlic and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
Make the Glaze
Lower heat slightly and stir in maple syrup, bourbon, butter, salt, and pepper; simmer 1–2 minutes until glossy and slightly reduced.
Combine and Roast
Return the bacon to the skillet, toss sprouts to coat in glaze, arrange cut-side down, then transfer skillet to the oven and roast 18–22 minutes until deeply caramelized and tender, stirring once halfway through.
Finish and Serve
Remove from oven, toss with toasted pecans and lemon juice, adjust seasoning to taste, and serve hot straight from the skillet—perfect on Garlic Shop's table.
