02 - 1.5 pounds Brussel Sprouts
03 - kosher salt
04 - freshly ground black pepper
05 - 3 tablespoons maple syrup

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

07 - Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy to your preference.
08 - In a large skillet over low heat, combine heavy whipping cream and unsalted butter. Simmer for 2 minutes. Whisk in minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Remove from heat and whisk in freshly grated parmesan cheese.
09 - Serve the bacon-wrapped Brussel sprouts with Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Ensure Brussel Sprouts are similar in size for even cooking.
