Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Trim ends and outer leaves from Brussels sprouts.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper. Add Brussels sprouts to bowl and toss to coat.

Step 3

Cut bacon slices in half lengthwise and crosswise. Wrap each Brussels sprout in a piece of bacon and set on baking sheet seam side down to prevent them from unrolling while cooking. Each slice of bacon will wrap 4 Brussels sprouts.

Step 4

Using the remaining maple syrup mixture in the bottom of the Brussels sprout bowl, brush the bacon wrapped sprouts.

Step 5

Cook for 35 minutes or until Brussels sprouts are tender.

Step 6

While Brussels sprouts are cooking, prepare dipping sauce. In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, and cayenne pepper.

Step 7

Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
