• Cut Bacon – Cut bacon in halves or thirds to evenly wrap around the Brussel Sprouts.
• Wrapping the Brussel Sprouts – When we wrap the brussel sprouts with bacon, we like to wrap it one time around. This allows for the bacon to get completely cook and get crispy.
• Secure with Toothpick – Secure the bacon with a toothpick inserted both into the bacon and Brussel Sprouts.
• Baking Sheet – Line the baking sheet with foil for easy clean up and to prevent the bacon from sticking.
