Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic and Bacon
Along with the bacon, these babies get roasted to absolute crisp-tender perfection, bubbling up in that bacon along with balsamic vinegar, and finally tossed with a little bit of honey for the hint of sweetness. Even the pickiest of eaters will be gobbling this up in no time!
