Ingredients

coarse salt and pepper , to taste
12 fresh brussels sprouts , cleaned, rough outer leaves removed, ends trimmed
6 slices of thin bacon
2 tablespoons real maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Slice bacon strips in half.
Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper on the brussels, then carefully wrap each brussels sprout with bacon, being sure to overlap the edges slightly.
Brush or spoon maple syrup over each bacon wrapped brussels sprouts and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the bacon is golden brown and brussels sprouts are fork tender.
Serve and enjoy.
NOTE: even though bacon is salty on its own, we still like to salt the veggies for more flavor. Feel free to omit, if preferred. But we recommend not skipping the pepper.
