Servings: 6
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound bacon
- 1 ½ pounds fresh Brussels sprouts
- ¼ cup brown sugar substitute like Swerve
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rinse the Brussels sprouts, removing any discolored leaves. Cut sprouts larger than 1 inch in half.
- Remove the bacon from the package without separating the slices and cut it into thirds.
- Wrap a piece of bacon around each Brussels sprout and place them seam-side down on the baking sheet. Use a toothpick to secure the bacon if needed.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar Swerve overtop of the bacon.
- Bake for 22-27 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the Brussels sprouts are tender.
Notes
- Use Brussel sprouts similar in size so they cook evenly. Larger sprouts can be cut in half vertically, through the stem.
- Try baking on a rack so the bacon grease drains away from the Brussel sprouts.
- If you do not have Swerve, use brown sugar sparingly. Or try a low carb or keto friendly syrup instead.
