• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound brussels sprouts

1 pound bacon (thin cut preferably)

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 teaspoon dijon mustard

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tbsp dijon mustard

1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 400˚F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, and set a cooling rack inside the baking sheet. Set aside.

Prep

Trim the brussels sprouts. Remove any brown outer leaves. Cut in half lengthwise. Season with salt and pepper.

Wrap each sprout with a half piece of bacon. Place on wire rack, seam side down.

Glaze

In a small pan mix together the balsamic vinegar, mustard, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and reduce until thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Use a pastry brush to brush the glaze on top of the sprouts.

Bake 25 to 35 minutes. Bacon should just be getting crispy. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with mustard sauce.

Mix

While the sprouts are baking mix together all the ingredients. Keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
