Ingredients

  • 2 lbs brussels sprouts fresh
  • 6 slices bacon chopped
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat Smoker: Heat the smoker to 400F degrees with an indirect heat zone.
  • Prep: Slice the brussels sprouts in half.
  • Pan: Place the brussels sprouts and bacon in a 13 x 9 pan. Stir to combine.
  • Smoke: Place the pan on the smoker. Smoke for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every 15-20 minutes.
  • Glaze: Once the bacon is cooked and the sprouts are tender, remove them from the grill. Drizzle with glaze. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  • Serve: Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm.

Notes

Smaller brussels sprouts will cook faster than larger ones. If you can only find large sprouts, you may want to cut them in quarters instead of halves.
