GRILL BASKET BACON-WRAPPED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Grill Basket Bacon-Wrapped Brussels Sprouts image

There are two key elements for success when making these irresistible little salty-sweet Brussels sprouts. First, they need to be cooked slowly over indirect heat so that the fat from the bacon can render lazily (and not cause flare-ups), crisping them to perfection. This also infuses a subtle smoky flavor that you would not otherwise get from the oven. Second, cooking them in a meatball grill basket holds the sprouts in place and keeps the bacon from shrinking too much and unraveling.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

12 medium Brussels sprouts (about 6 ounces)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 strips bacon
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat. For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the middle burners and keep the remaining burners at medium high (you want the temperature to be 350 degrees F). For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over briquettes to one side of the grill. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
Add the Brussels sprouts to a medium bowl and toss with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cut each strip of bacon in half widthwise so you have 12 shorter pieces. Brush both sides of each piece of bacon with maple syrup, then season with a few grinds of pepper.
Wrap each Brussels sprout in one piece of bacon and place seam-side down into a cavity of a 12-cavity meatball grill basket. Close and clasp the grill basket according to the manufacturer's directions. Place the grill basket onto the indirect heat section of the grill, making sure that the bacon seam is facing down. Cover the grill and cook until the bacon fat is rendered, the Brussels sprouts are tender and the bacon is crispy, 45 to 50 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise with the lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Line a baking sheet with paper towels place a wire rack on top.
Transfer the grill basket to the prepared wire rack. Let sit for 5 minutes, then unclasp and transfer the Brussels sprouts to a platter. Serve warm with the mayo mixture on the side.

I grill anything and just tried this recipe one night for a change. Works great on your indoor plug-in, lean-mean grill also. These are great with a wasabi dipping sauce (half wasabi paste and half sour cream).

Ingredients

20 Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and outer leaves removed
3 tablespoons salted butter
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
2 teaspoons bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 pinches garlic powder
olive oil

Steps:

Cut brussels sprouts in half.
Place sprouts in the middle of a large piece of aluminum foil (to make a packet for grilling). I usually put 10 sprouts in each packet.
Dot butter over the sprouts, then sprinkle with the seasoning salt, bacon and garlic powder.
Drizzle small amount of olive oil over the top and close up the foil packet (making sure you pull up all of the sides so that the butter does not leak out during cooking).
Grill packets for 10 minutes over medium-high heat.
After cooking is complete, place the veggies in a bowl and mix them up so that the butter/flavorings coat all the tasty brussels sprouts.

Tips:

Choose small to medium sprouts: These will cook more evenly and have a better texture.
Trim and halve the sprouts: This will help them cook evenly and allow the marinade to penetrate.
Use a hot grill: This will help to caramelize the sprouts and give them a nice smoky flavor.
Don't overcrowd the grill: Give the sprouts plenty of space so that they can cook evenly.
Cook the sprouts until they are slightly charred and tender: You should be able to pierce them easily with a fork.
Serve the sprouts immediately: They are best enjoyed hot off the grill.
