• Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove hard stems from Brussels sprouts and any soft or discolored outer leaves.
• Slice each piece of bacon in half. Wrap each sprout with a ½ slice of bacon and place on a baking sheet with edges. You can secure with toothpicks, or not, as the bacon should wrap and hold.
• Bake for around 22-25 minutes or until bacon is cooked and Brussels sprouts are tender. (Time may vary based on the size of your sprouts).
• For a spicy kick, sprinkle with cayenne pepper after wrapping.

*For a sweet and spicy kick, sprinkle with a granulated sugar substitute, such as Lakanto brand Monk Fruit sweetener and cayenne before adding to oven.
