Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the Brussel sprouts and trim off the stem ends. If the sprouts are large, cut them in half. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
Wrap each Brussel sprout (or half if large) with a half slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
Place the bacon-wrapped Brussel sprouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack, seam side down, ensuring they are not touching.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the Brussel sprouts are tender. Halfway through, you may need to turn the sprouts to ensure even cooking.
Let the Bacon-Wrapped Brussel Sprouts cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these savory bites as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
