Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.

  2. Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts, core and dice the pear, and slice the onion or shallot.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the sprouts, pear, and onion; drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and toss to coat.

  4. Spread the mixture onto a lightly oiled baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, turning every 10 minutes, until browned.

  5. While the vegetables roast, toast chopped walnuts in a dry skillet until aromatic, then cook diced bacon in a separate skillet until crisp, draining on paper towels.

  6. Transfer the roasted sprouts to a serving bowl, add the cooked bacon and toasted walnuts, and toss.

  7. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar, toss, and serve hot, adding more vinegar to taste if desired.
