pro tips



SIZE



If the Brussel sprouts are large, I cut them in half before wrapping in bacon. If they are smaller, I will wrap them whole.




BACON



Typically I would recommend using thick-cut bacon, but in this case, I encourage you to use thin-cut bacon.  Why…cook time. Thick-cut bacon takes a bit longer to crisp up. If you are dead set on using thick bacon, save yourself some time (and frustration) and pre-cook the bacon to half done. Enough to be pliable so it can wrap it around the sprouts. 



FRESHNESS



Brussel sprouts should be green, not yellow or contain black spots (for this recipe or ever). They should also be firm. Brussel sprouts still attached to their stem will last much longer if stored in a cool, dry place.
