👩🍳 Step-by-Step Recipe
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Brussels Sprouts
Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim the ends. If they are large, cut them in half.
Step 3: Season
Place the Brussels sprouts in a bowl. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to coat evenly.
Step 4: Wrap with Bacon
Cut each bacon slice in half. Wrap a piece of bacon around each Brussels sprout and secure it with a toothpick.
Step 5: Arrange on Baking Tray
Place the bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Step 6: Roast
Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the Brussels sprouts are tender.
Step 7: Add Final Touch
Drizzle with maple syrup or honey for a sweet and savory flavor if desired.
Step 8: Serve
Serve hot as a delicious appetizer or side dish. 🥓🥬✨
