Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trim stem ends, remove tough outer leaves, halve large ones
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, divided
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pound bacon, cut strips in half
- fresh cracked black pepper
- 4 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- fresh thyme, to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
- Place the Brussels Sprouts in a bowl. Add 2-1/2 tsp of balsamic vinegar and kosher salt and toss together.
- Wrap each sprout in a half slice of bacon and place it seam side down on the sheet pan. Use toothpicks to secure if needed. Season liberally with fresh cracked black pepper.
- Roast for about 30 minutes until the sprout is tender and bacon crisp. Rotate the pan halfway through for even roasting.
