Yield:

48 Brussels sprouts

Ingredients

48 small Brussels sprouts

2 (12-ounce) packages sliced smoked bacon

½ cup pure maple syrup

¼ cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, plus additional for garnish

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Soak 48 bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes; drain. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil; set aside.
Trim stems and remove outer leaves from Brussels sprouts. Cut each bacon strip in half. Wrap a bacon piece around each Brussels sprout, overlapping ends of bacon; thread each onto a bamboo skewer. Place on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 25 minutes or until bacon is crisp and Brussels sprouts are tender. Let stand for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, stir together maple syrup, brown sugar, salt, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper and mustard. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until slightly thickened.
To serve, lightly drizzle Brussels sprouts with syrup mixture; place on a serving platter. If desired, garnish with additional cayenne pepper. Serve immediately.
