Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts

Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts

A tasty appetizer of roasted Brussels Sprouts wrapped in bacon will satisfy everyone. The maple syrup, mustard and bacon combined create a delicious snack. 

Ingredients 

1 lb Brussels Sprouts, trimmed

12 slices thick cut bacon

1 tsp Dijon Mustard 

1 tsp Wholegrain Mustard 

3 tbsp Maple Syrup

Salt & Pepper to taste 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Soak toothpicks in a bowl of water. 

Blanch Brussels Sprouts in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Remove from stove and drain. 

Depending on the size of your Brussels Sprouts, cut them in half or thirds. Wrap bacon around the Brussels Sprout ensuring the ends overlap. 

Secure the bacon with a toothpick and place on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast 10 minutes. 

In a small mixing bowl whisk together the Dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard, maple syrup, salt and pepper. 

Remove the pan from the oven and brush the Brussels Sprouts with the glaze. Turn over, brush the second side and return to the oven. Roast for an additional 10 minutes or until the bacon has crisped up and the Brussels Sprouts are cooked through. 

Remove from the oven, drizzle with remaining glaze and serve. 

Notes:

• Substitute honey for Maple Syrup if preferred 
• Skip blanching if you prefer and roast the Brussels Sprouts an additional 10-15 minutes.
