Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts
- 4 slices bacon cut into 1" pieces
- 1 apple sliced
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ⅛ -¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Halve or quarter the Brussels sprouts, cut bacon into 1" pieces, and chop the apple. Place everything in a medium bowl along with the maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat.2 cups Brussels sprouts, 4 slices bacon, 1 apple, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, ⅛ -¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Tear off 2 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (10-12 inches long). If using regular foil, double-layer for extra strength. Place the foil on a flat surface and add the Brussels sprout mixture to the center. Top the packets with the second sheet of foil, and fold down in 1/2-inch folds to create a tight seal. Leave some room inside for steam circulation.
- Place the packet on a grill grate over medium coals or embers. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through. After flipping, use a knife to cut vents in the top sheet of foil. This will help some steam escape so the bacon can crisp up.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are tender, remove the packet from the grill. Carefully open packets (watch for steam!) and serve.
