Save

Two Christmas icons combine…What’s not to love? As the bacon crisps up, the sprouts are almost confited in bacon fat, creating melt-in-the-mouth deliciousness. Even sprout haters will renounce their beliefs when they taste them wrapped in bacon.

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C fan/gas 7. Cut each rasher of bacon in half widthways and wrap around each sprout, ensuring the bacon end finishes on the flat side of the sprout. Put them seam-side down on an oven tray to ensure they don’t spring apart while cooking. Cook for 10-15 minutes until crisp.
