Meanwhile, cook the bacon reserving 1-2 tablespoons of bacon in the sauté pan. When brussel sprouts are done, cut in half and set aside. Re-heat sauté pan with the reserved bacon fat. Add the maple syrup and vinegar to whisk to combine. Add brussel sprouts and sauté to coat, making sure the glaze is evenly distributed. Remove from pan, season with pepper and sprinkle with cooked bacon pieces.
