Ingredients:

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

8 slices of bacon, cut in half

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)

Toothpicks for securing the bacon (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.

Step 2: Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and blanch them for about 5 minutes, just until slightly tender. Drain and let cool.

• Once cool enough to handle, cut each Brussels sprout in half and scoop out a small portion of the center with a knife or spoon to create a little pocket for the cheese.

Step 3: Stuff with Parmesan

• Fill each half of the Brussels sprout with a small amount of grated Parmesan cheese, pressing it in gently.

Step 4: Wrap with Bacon

• Take a half slice of bacon and wrap it around each stuffed Brussels sprout, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.

• Place the wrapped sprouts on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5: Season and Roast

• Drizzle the bacon-wrapped sprouts with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian herbs (if using).

• Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the Brussels sprouts are tender.

Step 6: Serve

• Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

• Serve warm, removing toothpicks if used.

• Enjoy!

• These Bacon-Wrapped Roasted Brussels Sprouts Stuffed with Parmesan are sure to be a hit at your next gathering or as a delicious side dish for any meal!
