Whole 30/Paleo Challenge Recipe: Balsamic brussel sprouts with bacon

This recipe is from the lovely Ina Garten from the food network. I did my recipe a little different than hers but mostly its a copy cat. This recipe was delicious, it was sweet, sour, and savory veggie goodness. I served it with bison meatloaf!

Ingredients:
2 cups of brussel sprouts, halved
2-3 slices of bacon
1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar, reduced to 1/8 cup
2 tsp of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 400 F
2. Thinly slice core off the end of the brussel sprouts and then cut each in half.
3. Place on baking sheet.
4. Spray with olive oil to evenly coat the brussel sprouts then sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir on sheet. If you do not have an oil mister, drizzle 2 tsp of olive oil on the brussel sprouts
.
5. Chop up the raw bacon slices into small pieces and mix with the brussel sprouts on the sheet.
6. Set your oven timer to roast the brussel sprouts for 25 minutes.
7. While the brussel sprouts are initially roasting, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small pot. Let it simmer until it has reduced by about half. (10-15 minutes)
8. 10 minutes before your brussel sprouts are done add the balsamic reduction to your sprouts and stir. Place back into the oven to continue roasting.
9. Take out of the oven after the full 25 minutes and enjoy!
