Woodlife Ranch Backwoods Brussels Sprouts

Balsamic and maple glazed brussels sprouts with pancetta and toasted maple pecans

If you’d like to make this a vegetarian meal, the pancetta is totally optional, (but cooking the brussels sprouts in the fat is soooo tasty.) All of the amounts below can be changed slightly, we like to taste as we go and make adjustments!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound Brussel Sprouts, halved
• ⅓ pound Pancetta, diced
• 1 cup Pecans (we used whole pecans, half them or dice them if you prefer)
• 3 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
• 1 tbsp Woodlife Ranch Maple Syrup (this recipe is delicious with any one of our 5 syrups)
• ½ tbsp Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a bowl, toss brussels sprouts and pecans together with olive oil, balsamic, and maple syrup.
• Roast for 30 minutes in preheated oven.
• While sprouts and pecans are roasting, sauté diced pancetta in a large nonstick pan, cooking until golden brown.
• Remove brussels and pecans from oven and transfer into the stove top pan with pancetta, mix it all up and sauté for another 10 minutes or so, option to use high heat if you want it crispy.
• (If you are skipping the pancetta, you will still sauté the brussels and pecans stove top when you take them out of the oven)
• Do a taste test and decide if you want to add salt, pepper, and/or more maple and balsamic.
• Serve and enjoy!

Emily’s Trail Carrots

Honey Roasted Carrots

This one is super easy and delicious!

Ingredients:

• 8 Carrots, large (peel if you’d like, but we don’t!)
• ¼ cup Woodlife Ranch Honey (we usually use our Raw Honey, but this also works with our Bourbon Barrel Aged Honey and Applewood Smoked Honey)
• 3 tbsp Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place whole carrots into baking dish or baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil.
• Mix around until carrots are completely covered with olive oil.
• Pour on the honey.
• Bake in oven for 40 minutes to an hour. The longer they cook, the tenderer and softer they will get.
