Ingredients (makes about 12–15 bites)
12–15 small Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
6–8 slices of bacon, cut in half
1–2 teaspoons olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven: 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Prepare Brussels sprouts: Toss the halved sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper if desired.
Wrap with bacon: Take a half-slice of bacon and wrap it around each Brussels sprout half. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
Bake: Place wrapped sprouts on the baking sheet, seam side down. Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway, until bacon is crispy and Brussels sprouts are tender.
Serve: Let cool for a few minutes, remove toothpicks, and serve warm as a party snack or appetizer.
💡 Tips:
Use thin-sliced bacon for faster crisping.
You can brush a little maple syrup or honey on top before baking for a sweet-savory flavor.
For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, keeping a close eye so it doesn’t burn.
