These maple roasted vegetables are sweetened with maple syrup and bacon for a crowd-pleasing side dish worthy of the holidays but easy enough for a weeknight meal!

Ingredients

8 cups vegetables (green beans, diced sweet potato, sliced delicata squash, brussels, etc.)
3 Tablespoons olive oil
3-4 Tablespoons pure maple syrup , reserve some for drizzling at end
4 slices bacon , cut into bite-sized pieces
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Optional: 1/2 cup fresh cranberries or 1/4 cup dried cranberries, 1/4 cup pecan halves

Instructions

Prep. Preheat the oven to 425°F and spray a large baking pan with nonstick spray or olive oil.
Assemble ingredients. Cut 8 cups vegetables into similar size pieces and place on the pan. Sprinkle the 4 slices bacon around the top. Add 1/2 cup fresh cranberries and 1/4 cup pecans if desired. Then drizzle the 3 Tablespoons olive oil and 3-4 Tablespoons maple syrup over top. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and then toss until evenly coated.
Roast. Bake 20-25 minutes (flipping half way), or until the veggies are fork tender. Salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with extra maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Note: If you like crispy bacon, pre-cook it on the stove and then stir it in about 5 minutes before the vegetables are done. You can also use precooked bacon (I prefer the kind from Costco).
