Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season brussels sprouts with salt and pepper; sprinkle with thyme. Wrap each sprout with a piece of bacon; place seam-side down on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake, flipping halfway through, until bacon is crisp and sprouts are browning in places, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together mustard, maple syrup, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Let sprouts cool 10 minutes before serving with dipping sauce.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm Brussels sprouts. Avoid any that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts. Cut off the stem end and any outer leaves that are tough or damaged.
- Blanch the Brussels sprouts. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from getting mushy. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the Brussels sprouts and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Wrap the Brussels sprouts in bacon. Cut each slice of bacon in half lengthwise. Wrap each Brussels sprout with a half slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.
- Cook the Brussels sprouts. You can cook the bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts in the oven, on the stovetop, or on the grill. If cooking in the oven, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the Brussels sprouts are tender.
- Serve the Brussels sprouts hot. They can be served as a side dish or appetizer.
