BACON-WRAPPED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CREAMY LEMON DIP
Most recipes for bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts call for holding everything together with toothpicks, but we skip that step. Setting the bacon seam-side down on the baking sheet makes it seal in the hot oven. The maple syrup glaze helps to make each bite sweet and caramelized.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Trim the stem ends from the Brussels sprouts, and halve lengthwise. Put them in a medium bowl, and toss with 1 teaspoon salt.
- Lay the bacon strips next to each other on a work surface. Brush liberally with about 1/2 the maple syrup, then halve crosswise. Wrap each Brussels sprout half with 1 strip of bacon, syrup-side out, so the seam is on the flat side. Place the sprouts seam-side down on the parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between them. Brush them with a bit more syrup, and grind a little black pepper on top. Roast, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the bacon is crisp and the sprouts are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, most of the lemon zest and all the lemon juice in a small serving dish. Sprinkle the remaining lemon zest on top. Put about 1/2 cup maple syrup in a second small serving dish, and stir in as much black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes as you like.
- Transfer the sprouts to a platter, and serve with the lemon mayonnaise and peppered maple syrup, for dipping.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BREAD CRUMBS
The only way I will eat Brussels Sprouts! Be carefull not to cook too long, or bad lunch room memories may start to rear thier ugly heads. For this reason, I don't care for this recipe after it has been reheated, so plan to serve this immediately. It goes together quickly, so if you are serving with a roast, you can start this while the meat is resting. Dried fresh bread crumbs sounds like a contradiction, but if you use the pre-packaged stuff you will be disappointed. I just whiz a piece or two of whole wheat bread and give it a few minutes in a hot oven on a cookie sheet, or if the oven is occupied, dry toast them in a skillet. This recipe is adapted from one in Savuer Magazine. I got the bread crumb idea from Mark Bitman's "How to Cook Everything" - LOVE that book!

- Add back the bacon. Sprinkle the bread crumbs, lemon juice and pepper (to taste) over the sprouts. Stir well to combine.
- Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook brussels sprouts in medium saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Spread brussels sprouts on rimmed baking sheet in single layer. Sprinkle with bacon, lemon slices, salt, and pepper; stir. Roast brussels sprouts until tender and beginning to brown, stirring every 10 minutes, about 30 minutes. Transfer to bowl and serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, brightly colored sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any that are yellowing or have brown spots.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts properly: Cut off the stem end and any outer leaves that are damaged or discolored. Trim a thin slice from the bottom of each sprout to help them cook evenly.
- Parboil the Brussels sprouts: This helps to tenderize them and reduce their bitterness. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the Brussels sprouts, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Drain the sprouts and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use high-quality bacon: Thick-cut bacon will add more flavor and texture to the dish. Look for bacon that is smoked with hardwood or applewood for the best flavor.
- Cook the bacon until crispy: This will help to render out the fat and add flavor to the dish. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is crispy and browned. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside to drain on paper towels.
- Toast the breadcrumbs: This will add a nice crunchy texture to the dish. Spread the breadcrumbs in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Stir the breadcrumbs occasionally to prevent them from burning.
- Add lemon zest and juice: This will brighten up the flavors of the dish and help to balance out the richness of the bacon and breadcrumbs. Zest and juice one lemon and add it to the Brussels sprouts along with the bacon and breadcrumbs.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.
Conclusion:
Lemony Brussels sprouts with bacon and breadcrumbs is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly sweet, the bacon is crispy and flavorful, and the breadcrumbs add a nice crunchy texture. The lemon zest and juice brighten up the flavors of the dish and help to balance out the richness of the bacon and breadcrumbs. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
