Smoked bacon wrapped brussels sprouts are a match made in culinary heaven. The earthy, robust flavor of the brussels sprouts is complemented by rich, savory bacon to make this appetizer the star of the show!
These bacon wrapped brussels sprouts are best made on the smoker or grill, but can also be baked in the oven. For the best smoky taste, choose a bacon that's applewood or hickory smoked because that little extra goes a long way. Happy cooking friends!
These really do not need much seasoning with such intense flavors that are naturally brought to the table.
Serving Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts
There's not much that these would not make better! Here are just a few ideas:
- As an appetizer to Greatest Hamburger, Beer Can Chicken, or Bacon and Blue Sliders
- Along side Armadillo Egg, Burnt Ends, Bacon and Parmesan Wings, or Bacon and Blue Sliders
- ..and, of course, dipped in Homemade Ranch Dressing

Instructions for Wrapped Brussels Sprouts:
Step 1 : Preheat oven to 350℉. (Still do this part if you plan on using a smoker for final cook)
Step 2 : Cut the growth end off of the brussel sprouts and then cut it in half and peel off the outside layer of the vegetable.
Step 3 : Place in a mixing bowl and season with EVOO, garlic, salt, and pepper and place them on a lined sheet pan and roast them for 30 minutes in oven.
Step 4 : If you have a smoker, go ahead and turn it on and set it to 250℉.
