This is a really great appetizer to serve for a crowd…I mean, bacon, brussels sprouts, and maple syrup? C’mon – what’s not to love?
I was able to start these about an hour before we needed to leave to head to our friend’s home. Before getting to this point, I cleaned and dried the brussels sprouts to ensure they were ready to go. I was excited to use some real maple syrup I purchased during a recent trip to Toronto – it’s very yummy! While the oven pre-heated, I assembled these and then popped them into the oven to cook.
After transferring them to a serving platter, I covered them with foil to keep them warm. They were good both warm and at room temperature.
