Maple and Turkey Bacon-Wrapped Brussels Sprouts

If you’ve got a dinner party coming up, try these maple and turkey bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts.

Brussels sprouts lovers will inhale these savory little bites, and even people who are squeamish about the tiny cabbages will want to devour them when they’re hugged by a slice of turkey bacon that’s been painted with a maple-and-balsamic glaze.

It may look time-consuming to wrap each Brussels sprout in bacon — but these bundles are surprisingly simple to prep.

Cut the whole stack of turkey bacon in half, then start wrapping. The trick is to look for sprouts that are on the smaller side so that half a slice of turkey bacon can easily reach around the circumference and be secured in place with a toothpick.

If your Brussels sprouts are too large for that, just cut them in half and reduce the baking time.

Crisp turkey bacon, crunchy Brussels sprouts, and a touch of maple syrup make these Turkey Bacon-wrapped Brussels Sprouts an instant classic.
