This is one super easy and delicious appetizer, “Brussels Sprouts Wrapped in Bacon” We already know how well these two go together so this is a fool proof appetizer, side dish or even as a snack! I wrapped the brussels sprouts in bacon and roasted them in a 400 degree oven unil the bacon was brown and the brussels sprouts where super tender.
While these little bites were getting ready in the oven I made a reduction of balsamic vinegar. I reduced it until it was thick and super sweet, it was perfect to dip the Brussels Sprouts in or even to drizzle all over, there’s no way you can do this wrong.
I garnished the dish with fresh thyme for some freshness. I think I could eat a whole batch of these little guys all by myself! Well, this time I did have to share but I know I’ll be making these a lot in the near future.
