Roast the Brussels Sprouts:
-
Arrange the bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Roast in the preheated oven for about 25–30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized. You can flip them halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
Serve:
-
Once they’re done, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. You can serve them as-is or drizzle with a little extra balsamic glaze or honey for added flavor.
Tips for Perfect Bacon-Wrapped Brussels Sprouts:
-
Use thick-cut bacon: Thick-cut bacon will provide more texture and flavor, giving the sprouts a deliciously smoky taste.
-
Don’t overcook the sprouts: Brussels sprouts can get mushy if overcooked. They should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
-
Experiment with spices: Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, or even Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
-
Make-ahead: You can prepare these ahead of time and store them in the fridge before baking. Just pop them in the oven when you’re ready to cook.
These bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts are savory, crispy, and a perfect side dish to complement almost any main course. They’re sure to become a favorite in your recipe rotation! Enjoy
