method

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the halved sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, then mix in the chopped bacon.
Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until the sprouts are tender and the bacon is crispy.
Drizzle with balsamic vinegar straight out of the oven if you like, then serve.
