Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved if large

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey (optional for drizzling)
  • Toothpicks (optional for securing the bacon)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Wrap the Brussels Sprouts: Take each Brussels sprout and wrap it with a half-slice of bacon, securing the bacon with a toothpick if needed. Place the wrapped Brussels sprouts seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the Brussels sprouts are tender. Flip halfway through cooking for even crispness.
  5. Optional Glaze: If you like a touch of sweetness, drizzle the baked bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts with maple syrup or honey during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.

Notes:

  • This recipe makes about 20-24 pieces, depending on the size of the Brussels sprouts and bacon.
  • For extra flavor, you can sprinkle a little smoked paprika or chili flakes over the Brussels sprouts before wrapping them in bacon.
  • You can also use balsamic glaze as a drizzle instead of maple syrup or honey for a tangy-sweet finish.
