How to Make Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Microwave 10 slices of bacon in batches on a paper towel-lined plate at high power for 1.5 minutes, until partially cooked. Let cool slightly.
  3. Cut each bacon slice in half crosswise.
  4. Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise.
  5. Wrap a half-piece of bacon around each Brussels sprout half.
  6. Secure with a toothpick.
  7. Place sprouts, cut-side down, on a lightly greased wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  8. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the Brussels sprouts are tender.
  10. Serve immediately with creamy mustard sauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
