Ingredients You’ll Need for This Recipe
- 500 g Brussels sprouts, trimmed
- 200 g thinly sliced bacon (one slice per sprout)
- 2-3 tbsp maple syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Toothpicks (to secure the bacon)
Instructions for This Recipe
1- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). If the Brussels sprouts are large, cut them in half. Smaller sprouts can be left whole.
2- Wrap each sprout with one slice of bacon, securing the ends with a toothpick.
3- Place the wrapped sprouts seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4- Drizzle with maple syrup, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5- Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sprouts are tender. Flip halfway through baking for even browning.
6- Remove from the oven, discard the toothpicks, and serve hot.
Pro Tips for Success
-
Crispy Bacon Hack – Want extra crispy bacon? Partially cook the bacon for a few minutes before wrapping the Brussels sprouts. This helps it crisp up faster without overcooking the sprouts.
-
Spice It Up – Add a little cayenne or red pepper flakes for a sweet-and-spicy kick! You can also swap maple syrup for honey or balsamic glaze for a different flavor twist.
-
Make-Ahead Friendly – Prep these bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts in advance, then bake them fresh before serving. They also reheat well in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes!
These maple glazed bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts are the perfect party appetizer—crispy, caramelized, and packed with flavor!
Whether you’re hosting a BBQ, game night, or holiday party, this easy recipe is guaranteed to impress.
Serve them up and enjoy every sweet, smoky bite!
