Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Brussel Sprouts

Brussels Sprouts – If the Brussels are large, cut them in half, if they’re smaller they can be left whole. This recipe works best with fresh Brussels as frozen can release too much water.

Bacon – Use regular strips of bacon (not thick) and cut them into thirds. Thick-cut bacon will take too long to crisp, which overcooks the Brussels sprouts.

Glaze – Maple syrup makes this recipe super easy, but Brussels can be sprinkled with brown sugar (like we do for bacon-wrapped mini smokies). Feel free to mix in your faves including balsamic vinegar, sriracha, cayenne pepper, or honey.

Helpful Hints

  • Place bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts with the seam side down so they don’t come apart during baking.
  • Make sure the Brussels are all uniform in size so they cook at the same rate.
  • Any type of glaze can be used in this recipe, ensure it’s not too salty as the bacon has a lot of salt.
  • These can be oven-baked or cooked in the air fryer (see recipe notes).

  • Brush the top of the bacon with the maple syrup.

  • Bake 25-30 minutes or until bacon is crisp and brussels sprouts are tender.

  • Optional additions to the maple syrup include cayenne pepper or sriracha or sprinkle the top with red pepper flakes to taste before baking.
