Calories: 70kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lb Brussel sprouts about 24-28
- 12 strips bacon see note
- black pepper to taste
Serving - optional
- maple syrup
- balsamic reduction
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF (204ºC). Set the oven rack to upper middle position and turn on the convection fan if available.
- Rinse Brussel sprouts and trim 18-inch (1 cm) off the bottoms using a paring knife. Set aside.
- Place the bacon on a work surface and cut each strip into 5-inch (12 cm) long pieces. (You should have one piece for each Brussel sprout.)
- Roll a Brussel sprout up in a piece of bacon and place seam-side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat for remaining Brussel sprouts.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes until bacon is crispy and Brussel sprouts are tender (see note).
- Season with pepper and serve with optional maple syrup or balsamic reduction.
Notes
- You can use any type of uncooked bacon, including maple-flavored, low-sodium, etc. Turkey bacon also works well.
- Smaller Brussel sprouts cook faster than large ones. Start checking doneness after 20 minutes by piercing Brussel sprouts with a knife tip. As soon as they're tender, stop cooking.
