Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed
  • ½ pound bacon thinly sliced, use 1 slice per sprout
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • toothpicks for securing
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Cut large Brussels sprouts in half, and keep the smaller ones whole so they roast evenly.
  • Take one slice of bacon and wrap it around each Brussels sprout. Secure the ends with a toothpick to keep everything in place, then set them seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  • Brush or drizzle the wrapped sprouts with maple syrup, then sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Roast for 20–25 minutes, until the bacon is golden and crisp and the sprouts are tender.
  • Let them cool for a few minutes before removing the toothpicks. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Roast the sprouts slightly underdone if making ahead so they crisp up perfectly when reheated.
  • Leave space on the pan so they roast evenly instead of steaming.
  • Top with toasted pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
    Taste before serving and adjust with flaky salt or a drizzle of maple syrup for balance.
  • For less sweetness, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice.
Serve: Pair with steak, chicken, pork chops, or shrimp, and serve alongside mashed sweet potatoes or rice pilaf.
Store: Let leftovers cool, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 1 month and reheat in the oven or air fryer at 375 F for 5 to 7 minutes until crisp.
