Bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts with BBQ sauce are the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer—salty, smoky, and just the right amount of sweet. They’re easy to make, look impressive on any platter, and disappear fast at parties or family dinners.
Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved if large
  • 10 –12 slices thin-cut bacon cut in half crosswise
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
  • Trim Brussels sprouts. Halve if very large.
  • Wrap each sprout with half a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if needed.
  • Arrange seam-side down on baking sheet. Sprinkle with black pepper.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, brush with BBQ sauce. Return to oven and bake another 10–15 minutes, until bacon is crisp.
  • Serve warm, with extra BBQ sauce or Maple Dijon Dipping Sauce.

Notes

Maple Dijon Dipping Sauce

  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional, for a little tang)
  • Pinch of black pepper
Stir everything together in a small bowl until smooth. Serve alongside your bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts or drizzle lightly over the top for a sweet, tangy finish that complements the smoky bacon and savory sprouts.
