Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Cut the Brussels sprouts in half.

Ensure the surface of the Brussels sprouts is completely dry to avoid steaming in the oven.

In a dry pan, toast 1/4 cup of slivered almonds on medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally until fragrant, then transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Cut 2 strips of bacon into small pieces and fry them in a pan until cooked, then transfer onto a paper towel to absorb excess grease.

In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil until well coated.

Season the Brussels sprouts with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Spread the Brussels sprouts flat on a large baking sheet without overlapping.

Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

After roasting, transfer the Brussels sprouts back to a large bowl and add the cooked bacon and toasted almonds.

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of balsamic reduction over the mixture and toss to combine.
