Equipment

Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Mixing bowl
Wooden skewers
Oven

Ingredients

1 lb Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
8 oz bacon cut into thirds
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper

8 wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the sprouts are evenly coated.
Take a piece of bacon and wrap it around each Brussels sprout half. Secure the bacon with a skewer by inserting it through the wrapped sprout. Repeat this process until all the Brussels sprouts are wrapped and skewered.
Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are spaced apart to allow the fat to render and the bacon to crisp up.
Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the skewers to ensure even cooking. They are done when the bacon is crispy and the Brussels sprouts are tender.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes

For an extra kick, consider adding a sprinkle of chili flakes or your favorite hot sauce before serving. These skewers can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Simply reheat in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before serving.
