Equipment
- Toothpicks optional
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds fresh Brussels sprouts trimmed
- 12 slices bacon halved crosswise
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper to taste
- Toothpicks for securing, optional
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 425°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts:
- Rinse and trim the Brussels sprouts, removing any yellowed outer leaves. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Season the Brussels Sprouts:
- Place the Brussels sprouts in a bowl. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Wrap with Bacon:
- Take a half slice of bacon and wrap it around each Brussels sprout, securing with a toothpick. Place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Prepare the Maple Glaze:
- In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, aged balsamic, brown sugar, and Sriracha sauce until the sugar dissolves.
Glaze the Brussels Sprouts:
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat each bacon-wrapped Brussels sprout with the maple glaze.
Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the Brussels sprouts are tender. Rotate the sprouts halfway through baking for even cooking.
Serve:
- Once done, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm as a flavorful and visually stunning Thanksgiving side dish.
