These fun appetizers are perfect for entertaining a crowd — they disappear fast!
Are you a Brussels sprouts fan?
I wasn’t until a few years ago, but now I love them and enjoy them regularly.
Note: There are many high-quality bacon options available. Look for nitrate-free and humanely raised when possible.
We believe in balance: enjoying favorites in moderation while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
At our house we enjoy bacon a few times each month because it’s something we truly savor.
Makes 10–12 snack-size servings
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. Brussels sprouts (choose larger ones if possible)
- 12 oz. thin-sliced nitrate-free bacon
- 2 tsp sea salt
Instructions:
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold running water, trim the stems and remove any yellowed outer leaves.
Bring a pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the sea salt and let the water return to a boil. Carefully add the sprouts and blanch for 3–4 minutes, until just tender and bright green. Drain thoroughly.
Allow the sprouts to cool until they are easy to handle. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Place a Brussels sprout at one end of a bacon slice and roll the bacon around the sprout so it’s evenly wrapped. For larger bacon slices or smaller sprouts, you can use half a slice per sprout. 
Arrange the wrapped sprouts seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. 
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the bacon is golden and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease. 
Serve immediately and enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheat before serving.
Enjoy! ❤Rachel
