Low-Carb Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts

If you're looking for different yet delicious low-carb holiday side dishes, you should try these bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts. This amazing recipe is packed with fats, fiber, and lots of flavor; we promise everybody will enjoy it! You can serve them with various holiday main dishes but also as a quick snack or appetizer with your favorite low-carb dips. Adjust the amount of salt and black pepper according to your taste, or add a pinch of cayenne (or other herbs and spices of your choice). Serve while warm and crispy. Enjoy!

How do you customize this recipe?

We seasoned the Brussels sprouts with some salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, but another great idea is to brush them lightly with maple-flavored syrup and bake until perfectly crispy.

Can I prepare these in advance?

Although you could prepare this fantastic side dish in advance for a few hours, it definitely tastes best directly from the oven, while the Brussels sprouts are fresh and warm and the bacon perfectly crispy.

Can I prepare these in my air fryer?

Absolutely! This is a fantastic recipe to prepare in your air fryer. Place the wrapped Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 35 minutes at 165°C (330°F). Depending on the size of your basket, you may need to fry them in several batches.

Are Brussels sprouts low-carb?

Brussels sprouts are an excellent veggie you can eat while on a low-carb diet. They are low in carbs but packed with fiber and essential nutrients your body needs. Combining them with some flavor-packed foods, such as bacon, makes Brussels sprouts an even better addition to your low-carb menu!
