To cook bacon in the oven, put raw bacon on a broiler pan or wire rack on a baking sheet at 400 degrees for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked to your liking.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. (This is when having two ovens comes in handy!)
Wash the brussels sprouts. Cut each in half, removing outer leaves and cutting off hard bottoms as necessary. Place on a sheet pan lined with foil.
Toss brussels sprouts with 2 Tbsp (or 6 tsp) EVOO, salt and pepper.
Roast brussels sprouts in the oven, stirring mid-way, for 20-25 minutes until caramelized and tender.
If you have not cooked the bacon in the oven, cook the bacon using your desired method (microwave or skillet), let cool and set aside.
When brussels sprouts are done, heat 1 tsp EVOO in a large skillet. Transfer brussels sprouts to the skillet.
Pour 1 Tbsp of maple syrup over the brussels sprouts and toss to coat evenly.
Let cook for 3 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring often.
Add the remaining Tbsp of maple syrup, if desired based on a taste test.
Sprinkle cut up bacon, garlic powder and some extra Himalayan sea salt.
Stir and serve hot.
