We first posted this bacon wrapped Brussels sprouts recipe back in 2018 and we’ve since revamped it to make them even easier to prepare + we added an aioli dipping sauce. Made with just 2 ingredients (it’s all in the name), this is our go-to appetizer for pretty much any holiday get-together.
The rundown: simply slice 10 pieces of thick-cut bacon in half and then wrap each brussels sprout with the bacon. Lay them seam-side down on a tin foil-lined baking sheet and bake until crispy!
What Do You Need for Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts?
- Tin foil-lined baking sheet: tin foil is huge for clean up. We’ve made these without tin foil before and that also works, but it’s a greasy mess at the end!
- Thick-cut bacon: we tested this recipe with thick and medium-cut bacon and thick is much preferred because you need that extra baking time to get the brussels sprouts perfectly cooked.
- Small/medium Brussels sprouts: if you plan to use large brussels sprouts, you can cut them in half.

Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts Variations
Use a flavored bacon: try using an applewood smoked bacon or any flavor of bacon.
Add seasonings/flavors: sprinkle on some seasonings such as everything bagel seasoning or old bay seasonings. We also love adding a drizzle of maple syrup to the bacon for a sweet/savory approach.
Cook them in the air fryer: if you love your air fryer feel free to cook these up at 400ºF. Start with 15 minutes and continue air frying in 5-minute increments until cooked.

Storage
If you have leftovers, transfer them into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat: simply microwave on high for 60 seconds.
