Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each halved Brussels sprout (16 halves) with a half strip of bacon (8 slices halved), securing with a toothpick if needed.
  2. Step 2: Place bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing evenly. Sprinkle 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper over them.
  3. Step 3: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until bacon is crispy and Brussels sprouts are tender, turning halfway through.
  4. Step 4: While baking, melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
  5. Step 5: Remove Brussels sprouts from oven, transfer to a serving dish, and drizzle the garlic butter evenly over them. Garnish with 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme if using. Serve hot.
