These are so easy to make. All you need is two ingredients. Some beautiful green Brussels sprouts and some quality bacon {preferably pastured/grass-fed or organic bacon}. Turkey bacon works great too!

And if you want to get super fancy, you can add some some maple syrup right at the end of the cooking process. This isn’t necessary, but it’s a really special extra touch if you’re able to eat natural sweeteners.

For those who need Low Carb, Keto or Whole30, you’ll need to skip this optional step.

Yield: 24 bacon wrapped brussels sprouts
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
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 tbsp organic maple syrup, optional {OMIT for Low Carb, Keto & Whole30}

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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. 
  5. 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.

  7. Emily, I can’t wait to make this recipe for my family! I wish that organic Brussels sprouts were easier to come by. I need to make a special trip to the best produce market in town to get some. My family will LOVE these!!

  17. Well, we love both bacon and Brussels sprouts, so this is a winner for my family! My best friend is also strict keto for candida, so I’m going to make these part of our Christmas meal — which we share together and I’m already thinking about!

  22. These look amazing! My son was just asking why we never eat bacon anymore, lol. I think I’ll have to pick some up along with some brussel sprouts this week!
