Servings: 8

Equipment
- 6 skewers
- 1 Bowl
- 1 grill
Ingredients
- 1 lb brussel sprouts
- 1 package bacon pcs. cut in half so you have shorter pcs.
- salt and pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Put skewers in a bowl of water so they soak. Wash your brussels sprouts and remove the first layer of leaves on the outside. Use a knife and cut the very hard part on the bottom off (I dig in just a bit to get that out but keep it in tact, you can cut it in half too if you wish but it's harder to put on kebabs that way).
- Put them in a microwave safe bowl with about 1/4 c water in it. Put a plate on top, or lid
- Microwave for 4-5 minutes, check after 4, so they soften a bit and aren't rock hard. Stir once so they all get a bit tender. Drain water and allow to cool enough so you can handle them. Then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings of your choice. Stir so they are all coated.
- Take one skewer out of bowl of water and put a brussel on the end. Fold piece of bacon that has been cut in half in half, and push that on next to your sprout.
- Add another sprout, then bacon, until you have 3 sprouts and 2 bacon pieces in between in the middle.
- Allow grill to cool down so flames are not touching grate. Place skewers on grill and close lid for about 4 minutes allowing veggies to crisp a bit, soften more, and bacon to cook. Flip and check to see how much longer they need to cook.
- A slow longer cook time is best. Cook until bacon is cooked and brussel sprouts are crispy on the outsides.
