Ingredients and Variations
BRUSSELS SPROUTS: If your Brussels are large, cut them in half, if they’re smaller they can be left whole. For best results, try to get them uniform in size. Create a medley of glazed veggies by using brussels sprouts, thick chunks of zucchini, or potatoes (adjust cooking time as needed).
GLAZE: Maple syrup makes this recipe super easy. But they can be sprinkled with brown sugar (like we do for bacon wrapped mini smokies). Feel free to mix in your faves including balsamic vinegar, sriracha, cayenne pepper, or honey.

I made this recipe for 80 people. First experimenting with a few. I found that it was better, when I soaked the Brussel sprouts in coke and brown sugar before wrapping them in the bacon. They were a hit!
Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts?
I haven’t tried frozen Brussels sprouts in this recipe Cathy so I can’t say for sure but it should work just fine. If you try it I would love to hear how it turns out!

Sure you can! It doesn’t crisp quite the same way but will still add a smoky salty flavor. Let us know how it goes!
