    Why You'll Love Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts

    • It's wrapped in bacon. Roasted Brussels Sprouts are one of my favorite sides, and they become better immediately when you add bacon to the mix. It's safe to say that wrapping anything in bacon makes it better.
    • Easy and simple. It’s super easy to make but doesn’t seem like it. Made with just 2 main ingredients, this is a great appetizer to impress guests because it seems complex but takes little effort. Ten minutes of prep work and 25-30 minutes in the oven, and you’ve got an amazing appy to serve.
    • They are loaded with flavor. With the salty bacon and sweet maple glaze, these bacon-wrapped brussels sprouts give you so much flavor in every bite, even with just a few ingredients. It's sweet and salty heaven.
    • You get your veggies in. Even though this dish is incredibly indulgent, it still gets those essential servings of vegetables into your diet. Brussels sprouts are an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin C, and fiber.

    How to Make the Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts

    1. Assemble. Cut each bacon strip in half crosswise (about 5-inches long). Wrap each strip around each brussels sprout. Secure each wrapped brussels sprout with a toothpick and place on a parchment-lined quarter sheet baking pan.

    1. Bake. Brush the wrapped brussels sprouts with maple syrup and sprinkle with black pepper to taste. Bake in a 375F preheated oven until crispy to your desired level of crispiness, about 25-30 minutes. Serve immediately.
      • Air Fryer Instructions: Place the wrapped brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 375F for 13-15 minutes until the bacon is browned and crispy.

    PRO TIP. How you wrap your bacon will determine how it cooks. If you like crispy bacon, wrap loosely, leaving some space between the strips as you go around. If you prefer chewier bacon, wrap tightly and overlap a little.
