Maple Bacon Brussels SproutsMaple Bacon Brussels SproutsMarch 03, 2023 at 04:40PMEnjoy these Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts as a holiday side or winter weeknight side dish. Packed full of flavor from fresh orange and smoky bacon, these bacon brussels sprouts can be easily made in the oven or stovetop and will not disappoint. I like to believe that anyone who says they “don’t like brussels sprouts” just hasn’t made them correctly… I know that’s not true but if you are steaming or boiling your brussels, you’re doing it wrong. Not surprisingly, boiling or steaming brussels leads to a pretty unappetizing taste. In all seriousness, you probably can’t go wrong but I have to say… this recipe is my favorite way to enjoy brussels sprouts. Add some bacon and complimentary sweet flavors and you’ve got yourself a winner. They also make for a delicious Thanksgiving side!…
