Brussels Sprouts with Maple Recipe

Author: Jessica Haggard
Each Brussels sprout here wraps in a slice of bacon and a toothpick before the maple glaze goes on. They come off the pan looking like a passed appetizer, not the vegetable side left for last.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed
  • ½ pound bacon thinly sliced, use 1 slice per sprout
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • toothpicks for securing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 4400 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Cut larger sprouts in half and keep the smaller ones whole so everything cooks evenly.
  • Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around each sprout. Secure it with a toothpick, then place each piece seam side down on the baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the sprouts with maple syrup and add a light sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 20 to 25 minutes until the bacon turns crispy and the sprouts are tender.
  • Let them rest for a few minutes, pull out the toothpicks, and serve warm.

Notes

  • If you’re prepping early, roast them until slightly underdone. They’ll finish cooking when reheated before serving guests.
  • Toasted pecans or walnuts make a nice finishing touch if you want a little extra texture.
  • Give them a quick taste before serving. A light sprinkle of flaky salt or a small extra drizzle of maple syrup can help dial in the flavor.
  • If you prefer it less sweet, a small splash of balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
Serve: Pair with chicken cutlets, pork chops, baby back ribs, roasted turkey, or glazed ham. You can also serve it with mashed potatoes.
Store: Let the sprouts cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days or freeze the sprouts and bacon separately for up to a month. Reheat straight from frozen in the oven or air fryer at 375 F for 5 to 7 minutes. Avoid the microwave because it makes the sprouts and bacon too soft.
