Description
Simple recipe for Brussels sprouts wrapped in bacon and coated with maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 12 slices thin-cut bacon
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil and black pepper.
- Wrap each Brussels sprout half tightly with one slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
- Place the wrapped sprouts seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the maple syrup evenly over the sprouts.
- Return the sprouts to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the syrup is caramelized.
- Remove toothpicks before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the sprouts for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- If you prefer thicker bacon, increase the initial cooking time by 5-7 minutes.
