Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Microwave 10 bacon slices in batches, between paper towels at HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes. Cut slices in half crosswise.
• Wrap bacon piece around each Brussels sprout half; secure with a wooden pick. Place sprouts, cut sides down, on a lightly greased wire rack on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with pepper to taste. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until bacon is crisp and Brussels sprouts are tender. Serve with Creamy Mustard.
• Creamy Mustard Sauce: Stir together all ingredients. Makes 1/2 cup.

Steps:

• Lay out stips of bacon on a clean cutting board or other clean flat surface.
• Lightly brush each strip of bacon with maple syrup making sure to coat the entire surface of the meat. Lightly sprinkle with black pepper.
• Take a brussels sprouts and starting from the bottom, roll up each piece of bacon so that it evenly wraps the vegetable.
• Lightly brush the tops of each wrapped brussels sprout with more maple syrup and sprinkle on additional pepper. Transfer the pieces to a baking sheet making sure to place each piece of rolled-up bacon with the seam side down.
• Bake at 350˚F (180˚C) for 20-25 minutes or until bacon is done and thoroughly cooked.
• Remove from baking tray and place on paper towels to remove excess bacon fat.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Place bacon, in batches, in single layer on paper towel-covered microwaveable plate; cover with second paper towel. Microwave on HIGH 1-1/2 min. (Bacon will not be done.)
• Spread bacon with mustard. Place 1 Brussels sprout half, cut side up, on center of each bacon piece; fold ends of bacon over sprout. Place, seam side down, on rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining bacon and sprout pieces.
• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until bacon is crisp and sprouts are tender.

Steps:

• Combine Brussels sprouts and bacon in a cast iron skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until Brussels sprouts start to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Drizzle 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar on top.
• Transfer Brussels sprouts and bacon to a serving platter; drizzle remaining balsamic vinegar on top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season brussels sprouts with salt and pepper; sprinkle with thyme. Wrap each sprout with a piece of bacon; place seam-side down on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake, flipping halfway through, until bacon is crisp and sprouts are browning in places, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together mustard, maple syrup, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Let sprouts cool 10 minutes before serving with dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat. For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the middle burners and keep the remaining burners at medium high (you want the temperature to be 350 degrees F). For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over briquettes to one side of the grill. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
• Add the Brussels sprouts to a medium bowl and toss with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cut each strip of bacon in half widthwise so you have 12 shorter pieces. Brush both sides of each piece of bacon with maple syrup, then season with a few grinds of pepper.
• Wrap each Brussels sprout in one piece of bacon and place seam-side down into a cavity of a 12-cavity meatball grill basket. Close and clasp the grill basket according to the manufacturer's directions. Place the grill basket onto the indirect heat section of the grill, making sure that the bacon seam is facing down. Cover the grill and cook until the bacon fat is rendered, the Brussels sprouts are tender and the bacon is crispy, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise with the lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Line a baking sheet with paper towels place a wire rack on top.
• Transfer the grill basket to the prepared wire rack. Let sit for 5 minutes, then unclasp and transfer the Brussels sprouts to a platter. Serve warm with the mayo mixture on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Trim the stem ends from the Brussels sprouts, and halve lengthwise. Put them in a medium bowl, and toss with 1 teaspoon salt.
• Lay the bacon strips next to each other on a work surface. Brush liberally with about 1/2 the maple syrup, then halve crosswise. Wrap each Brussels sprout half with 1 strip of bacon, syrup-side out, so the seam is on the flat side. Place the sprouts seam-side down on the parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between them. Brush them with a bit more syrup, and grind a little black pepper on top. Roast, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the bacon is crisp and the sprouts are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, most of the lemon zest and all the lemon juice in a small serving dish. Sprinkle the remaining lemon zest on top. Put about 1/2 cup maple syrup in a second small serving dish, and stir in as much black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes as you like.
• Transfer the sprouts to a platter, and serve with the lemon mayonnaise and peppered maple syrup, for dipping.
