Serves 8
Hands-On Time: 15m
Total Time: 45m

Ingredients

* 1/2 cup cider vinegar
* 1/2 cup golden raisins
* 6 slices bacon
* 2 pounds small Brussels sprouts, trimmed
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1 teaspoon black pepper
* 1 small red onion, cut into thin half-moons

Directions

1. Heat oven to 425° F.

2. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, warm the vinegar. Add the raisins. Turn off heat; let plump. In a large skillet, fry the bacon until crisp, about 7 minutes. Reserve the drippings.

3. Cut any large sprouts in half. Place the sprouts on a baking sheet or in an ovenproof pan. Toss with the oil, 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings, the salt, and pepper. Roast, stirring once, for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the onion in the remaining drippings over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle the sprouts with the onions and crumbled bacon.
