Bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts are the perfect appetizer to serve at your next party. If you are looking for a simple yet impressive appetizer or side dish, Bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts are your answer! These bite-sized delights offer the perfect combination of crispy bacon and tender, caramelized Brussels sprouts. Whether hosting a dinner party or looking for a Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, or Fall party dish, this will surely be a crowd-pleaser.
They are oh-so-good and a little addicting, I may say. I would recommend doubling the recipe because they go fast. Just wait until you taste these amazing little things. You can make this Paleo or Keto friendly by omitting the Honey and Brown Sugar. It’s still delicious. I have made it both ways.
You can make these for any occasion—or, heck, you don’t even need an occasion. They are delicious! But this is it. If you are looking for a dish to bring to your next Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, or holiday party, I highly recommend this one.
Bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts are the best Fall appetizer, and here’s why;
Bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts create the Perfect Flavor Balance.
- The maple glaze provides a sweetness that works beautifully with the savory bacon.
- The bacon’s salty goodness enhances the natural earthiness of Brussels sprouts.
- Brussels sprouts have a crunch that creates the perfect balance, added with bacon and a maple glaze.
Simple Yet Elegant Appetizers
- They have minimal ingredients, but they deliver maximum flavor. Seriously, you will wow your guests, family, or friends. It only has five ingredients to create this dish.
- They look like they are from a restaurant but are incredibly easy to prepare. Not to mention, they look very appetizing to get and are easy to eat.
I always use nitrate-free bacon and real maple syrup when making these. The baking time can vary, and using thick-cut bacon may take more time. Watch closely.
Note: Make this Paleo or Keto friendly by omitting the Honey and Brown Sugar.
