Bacon Wrapped Brussel Sprouts
Description
This recipe involves trimming Brussels sprouts, seasoning them with salt and pepper, then wrapping each sprout with bacon slices cut in half. Each wrapped sprout is dipped in brown sugar, which caramelizes during roasting, adding sweetness and a sticky glaze on the bacon exterior.
Baked at 400 degrees Fahrenheit on a foil-lined tray, the wrapped sprouts are flipped halfway to crisp the bacon evenly while allowing the sprouts to become tender without becoming mushy. The toothpicks secure bacon in place during cooking and are removed before serving.
This preparation highlights texture contrast with crispy, caramelized bacon and slightly softened Brussels sprouts. They are best enjoyed fresh while warm but can be stored refrigerated for up to five days.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound Bacon
- ½ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Cut the ends off of the brussel sprouts and season them with salt and pepper.
- Cut the bacon in half. Wrap each brussel sprout with a piece of the bacon and secure it to the brussel sprout with a toothpick.
- Dip each one in the brown sugar to coat the bacon in the brown sugar. Then place them on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cook time, until the bacon is crispy and the brussel sprouts are tender.
- Remove them from the baking sheet, remove the toothpicks, serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Serve bacon wrapped Brussels sprouts fresh for optimal crispness and flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days and reheat gently.
