Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potato Hash

Brussel Sprouts Roasted with Sweet Potatos

I am aware I am not the only one that grew up thinking brussels sprouts were better off in the garden than on my plate. They can be bitter and have a weird texture… just so unpleasant! But sweet potatoes have always been a favorite at our house and especially with a maple syrup drizzle!  When Emily from FORK’D showed me this easy way to roast the best and the worst of the autumn harvest I had my doubts about this brussels sprouts business (even WITH the maple syrup drizzle!) but THEN she told me about the BACON.

This is a one-sheet pan wonder! And honestly, not even brussels sprouts can be bad with maple syrup and bacon on them. So be brave at your CSA farmstand pick up and bring those brussels home and give this hash a try.
