Ingredients

  • 1 - 1 ½ lbs of fresh Brussels sprouts
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 tsp all-purpose BBQ Rub
  • ½ lb raw bacon chopped
  • 2-3 tbsp of Parmesan cheese more or less to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the smoker to 200 Degrees F.
  • Wash the Brussels sprouts and cut each one in half and add them to a bowl.
  • Then add in the garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, BBQ rub, and chopped bacon.
  • Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet or aluminum pan.
  • Spread all of the ingredients out so that there is space between the Brussels sprouts and bacon for even cooking.
  • Transfer out to the smoker and place on the grate.
  • Close the lid and let smoke at 200 Degrees F for about 2 hours.
  • Give everything a stir, raise the temperature to 300 Degrees F and let cook for about another 20-30minutes until the bacon is crisp to your liking and the Brussels sprouts are fork-tender.
  • Sprinkle some parmesan cheese and serve warm.

Notes

Cooking times may vary according to your ability to keep the temperature/ how tender you like the Brussels sprouts and how crispy you like the bacon.
