Brussels Sprouts in Blankets

Move over, pigs in a blanket. I’ve given the finger food favorite a low-carb makeover using Brussels sprouts.
Yield: 24 pieces
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 22 minutes
Total Time: 32 minutes

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
Ingredient Details to Know
*If you are following a gluten-free diet, check packaging on the turkey bacon to make sure gluten wasn't added during processing. 

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.
