Tips:
- Choose small and firm Brussels sprouts: Smaller Brussels sprouts are more tender and cook more evenly. Look for sprouts that are tightly closed and free of blemishes.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts: Trim the stem end of each Brussels sprout and remove any loose or discolored leaves.
- Parboil the Brussels sprouts: Parboiling the Brussels sprouts before wrapping them in bacon helps to soften them and reduce their cooking time. To parboil, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they are 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.
- Bake the Brussels sprouts: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through and the Brussels sprouts are tender.
- Serve immediately: Bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts make a delicious and easy appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for parties and potlucks, as they can be made ahead of time and reheated. With their crispy bacon exterior and tender-crisp interior, bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
