Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts
In need of a simple appetizer? There's nothing more easy than these delicious 2 ingredient Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts. Enjoy them any day or serve them at a party and watch them disappear fast.
Ingredients
- 1 package pastured, grass-fed or organic bacon or turkey bacon {approx. 12 pieces}
- 24 medium to large Brussels sprouts
- 1-2 tablespoon organic maple syrup, optional {OMIT for Low Carb, Keto & Whole30}
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prep a large baking sheet with edges {like a jellyroll pan, I used a stoneware large bar pan} - line it with unbleached parchment paper. Set aside.
- Wash and prep the Brussels sprouts, dry them with a clean dish towel. Cut the stems off of the Brussels sprouts if they are long and woody. Remove any damaged or yucky outer leaves if necessary. Set aside.
- Cut a package of bacon strips in half. Roll a half strip of bacon around each Brussels sprout. Insert a toothpick through the bacon halfway into the Brussels sprout to secure the bacon. Place on the lined baking sheet and repeat until all Brussels sprouts are wrapped with bacon.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for about 25-35 minutes until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Depending on how thick your bacon is, this could take more or less time to bake. Keep an eye on the bacon around 20 minutes so you don't burn the bacon. Remove from oven when done and serve immediately.
- OPTIONAL {DO NOT do this step for Low Carb, Keto & Whole30} - Remove the baking sheet from the oven and lightly drizzle the bacon with maple syrup. Allow the bacon wrapped Brussels sprouts to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
YOU WILL NEED: Large Bar Pan or Large Jellyroll Baking Pan, Unbleached Parchment Paper, Toothpicks
- You will need 2 Brussels sprouts for every 1 full strip of bacon. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
- For Low Carb, Keto & Whole30: Do not use any maple syrup and make sure to look for a quality source of bacon that has no sugar. There are several brands of bacon now that are sugar-free.
