Hey Sunshine!

I love brussels sprouts and I really love bacon. I saw something similar to this made with real bacon, but I wanted to make these a bit healthier so I used turkey bacon. I was making them for my father so I wanted them as healthy as possible. I also wanted them to have a great amount of flavor.

This is such a simple recipe with just a few main ingredients. I also made a dipping sauce to make this dish even more flavorful. These little gems are perfect for an appetizer or a side dish. You could even make an extra large batch and bring them to a potluck at any time of year.

The Facts

8 Servings

4 wrapped brussels sprouts are 30 calories and 0sp (WW)

1 tbsp of honey mustard dipping sauce is 20 calories and 1sp (WW)

Together: 4 bacon wrapped brussels with 1 tbsp dipping sauce = 50 calories & 1sp (WW)

Ingredients

12 ounce package of Brussels sprouts

1 package of turkey bacon 

Note: I used Applegate brand with 8 slices per package.  One slice make 4 pieces and is 0sp for those following WW. However, if you eat more than 4 adjust points

Olive oil spray

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

½ cup Ken’s Light Honey Mustard Dressing

½ cup Gulden’s Spicy Brown Mustard

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F.

On a cutting board, trim brussels sprouts by cutting off the ends and removing any damaged outer leaves. Slice in half lengthwise and place in a medium size mixing bowl. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spray with olive oil and mix all together with clean hands, making sure the brussels are evenly coated with the olive oil and spices.

Take one slice of bacon and cut in half down the length of the slice and then in half across the middle. This should leave you with 4 strips.  Do this with each slice of bacon in the package.

Spray a baking sheet with oil. One by one, take a brussels sprout half and wrap one strip of turkey bacon around it and place it flat-side down on the baking sheet.  Repeat until finished.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the brussels are soft and the bacon is golden brown.  Turkey bacon doesn’t get as crispy as regular bacon, but it does brown well.

I took a big shortcut for the dipping sauce.  In a small mixing bowl, whisk the Ken’s dressing with the Gulden’s mustard until well combined.  That’s it! Super simple, tastes great, and decreases the calories and ww points per tablespoon. 

Now dip your bacon wrapped brussels in some honey mustard dipping sauce and enjoy!
