Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

Method

1. 01

   Parboil the Brussels Sprouts: Start by cutting the bottoms off the Brussels sprouts to help them cook evenly. Parboil the sprouts by placing them in boiling water for about 3-4 minutes. Once done, drain them and pat them dry with paper towels.

2. 02

   Toss with Olive Oil and Seasoning: Toss the parboiled Brussels sprouts in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and black pepper to coat them evenly.

3. 03

   Wrap with Bacon: Take a half slice of bacon and wrap it around each Brussels sprout. Secure the bacon with a toothpick or metal skewers to keep it in place during grilling.

4. 04

   Set Up the BBQ: Set up your BBQ for direct heat, aiming for a high temperature of around 200°C (392°F). Preheat with Heat Beads Lump Charcoal for that perfect grilling experience.

5. 05

   Grill the Bacon-Wrapped Brussels Sprouts: Place the wrapped sprouts on the grill and cook them hot and fast, turning occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and the sprouts are tender.

6. 06

   Serve: Remove the Brussels sprouts from the grill. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with grated Parmesan before serving.
