Move over, pigs in a blanket. I’ve given the finger food favorite a low-carb makeover using Brussels sprouts.

Brussels sprouts are the bomb, boasting 4 grams each of fiber and protein per cup. Plus they deliver more than 100 percent of your daily needs for vitamin C and contain compounds that may help protect against certain types of cancers, according to some research. Let’s give a well-deserved shout for sprouts!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 container, ~9 ounces fresh Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and cut in half or quarters lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 strips turkey bacon, cut in half lengthwise and then horizontally, for a total of 48 small pieces

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400˚.
  • In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with the oil and sprinkle on the salt and pepper.
  • Then, one at a time, pick up each Brussels sprout and wrap it with a piece of turkey bacon. Be sure to tuck the edges of the bacon underneath the cut side of the Brussels sprout so they stay put.
  • Place the wrapped Brussels sprouts cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until the bacon is crispy.
