Bacon-Wrapped Brussels Sprouts

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season brussels sprouts with salt and pepper; sprinkle with thyme. Wrap each sprout with a piece of bacon; place seam-side down on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.

2. Bake, flipping halfway through, until bacon is crisp and sprouts are browning in places, about 45 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together mustard, maple syrup, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

4. Let sprouts cool 10 minutes before serving with dipping sauce.

Cook's Notes

Skip the thick-cut bacon here; if it’s sliced on the thinner side, it makes for easier wrapping and crispier sprouts.
