Crispy Bacon-Wrapped Brussels Sprouts make a perfect appetizer or side dish for your next backyard barbecue or cookout!

Hi, friends! Welcome to day 1 of #BBQWeek! ‘Tis the season, and if you are anything like me, you are always looking for new recipes to make throughout the summer. And, I know…Brussels sprouts are a very polarizing veggie, but let me tell you – these ain’t yo’ mama’s Brussels.

First of all, they’re wrapped in bacon. So, there’s that. But they are baked to perfection, so the texture and the flavor are juuuust right. No bitter, hard little Brussels here.

I’m a big fan of roasted Brussels sprouts, but I had some Bacon-Wrapped Brussels Sprouts at a holiday party and was determined to make them myself. And wowza is all I have to say. Now, I chose to make these in the oven, just to be sure I cooked them correctly, but you could absolutely skewker these babies and make them on the grill, if you are so inclined.

Either way, you want these on your next BBQ menu!

And how do you make Bacon-Wrapped Brussels Sprouts?

Full Printable Recipe Below!

1.) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and set oven rack in the middle.
2.) If you’re Brussels sprouts are small, you may need to cut your bacon in half. Larger sprouts work well with a whole slice of bacon.
3.) Wrap appropriately sized piece of bacon around each sprout. You want it to wrap around at least 1 full time and overlap at the seam.
4.) Lay the sprout bacon seam side down on a baking sheet.
5.) In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. Start with 2 tablespoons of syrup and add more if you want it sweeter. Use a basting brush to cover the tops of your sprouts with the glaze.
6.) Place in the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes, depending on size of sprouts, until bacon is browned and crisp and sprouts are tender (they will be fork tender when you poke them.) If you there is any remaining glaze, brush the tops and serve, but that is optional!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
