Mix in olive oil and half of the maple syrup to the brussel sprout and cranberry mixture.

On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, spread on the brussel sprouts and cranberries. Then, sprinkle the chopped bacon evenly over the brussel sprouts and cranberries. This helps the bacon not clump together.

Cook for 25-30 minutes or until bacon is fully cooked and brussel sprouts are tender and crispy on the edges. Browning of the brussel sprouts will occur.
