Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed
  • ½ pound thinly sliced bacon use 1 slice per sprout
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • toothpicks for securing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Halve any large Brussels sprouts; leave smaller ones whole.
  • Wrap each sprout with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush with maple syrup and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 20 to 25 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the sprouts are tender.
  • Let cool slightly before removing the toothpicks and serving warm.

Notes

  • Add toasted pecans or walnuts on top for extra crunch if you like.
  • If you want less sweetness, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors.
  • When making ahead, roast them slightly underdone so they finish perfectly crisp and tender when reheated.
Serve: Pair with roast beef, turkey, chicken, ham, or salmon, and add mashed sweet potatoes or rice pilaf for a cozy meal.
Store: Let leftovers cool, then store in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days or freeze the cooled sprouts and bacon separately for up to 1 month and reheat from frozen. Warm in the oven or air fryer at 375 F for 5 to 7 minutes until crisp, and avoid the microwave since it softens them.
