This recipe hits all the flavor points and makes a fantastic side throughout the year. Plus, you've got to love a dish that requires minimal effort and doesn't take up oven space. You can always omit the bacon if you need a vegetarian option. —Lauren McAnelly, Des Moines, Iowa


Test Kitchen tips
  • To shave Brussels sprouts, trim off the ends and put them in your food processor or slice with a mandoline. Or trim, halve and slice using a very sharp knife.
  • Agave or honey works well in place of maple syrup.
  • We recommend Fuji or Braeburn apples in this recipe because they have a crisp texture that will hold up to the heat.
