A simple keto side dish the whole family will love. These bacon wrapped brussels sprouts kebabs are my favorite way to get my kids to eat vegetables too.

For an easy low carb summer side dish, make bacon wrapped brussels sprouts on the grill by cooking them on a skewer. It’s a quick and simple way to get dinner on the table fast with minimal clean up. Pair these with caprese chicken kebabs and strawberry shortcake kebabs for a fun night of food on a stick.

Brussels sprouts don’t have many fans but if you wrap them in bacon, most people will eat them and enjoy them. Before wrapping in bacon, I toss the brussels sprouts in a parmesan garlic oil. Once wrapped with a strip of bacon, the sprouts are grilled over indirect heat until crispy.

How to make bacon wrapped brussels sprouts kebabs

  1. Cut the brussels sprouts in half.
  2. Toss the brussels sprouts in olive oil, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  3. Weave a strip of bacon around each brussels sprout as you thread it onto the skewer.
  4. Grill over indirect heat.
