Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts

 

About two months ago, I purchased an air fryer from Costco. It was $50. Good deal! I've been using it 3-4 times weekly. 

I roast Brussels sprouts in the oven, but I decided to air fry them. There are lots of recipes on the internet. I found one that sounded good. I don't recall if I found it on Facebook or via google. Credit goes to the author. If I find the link, I'll add it here.

Ingredients

1 Lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
4 strips of bacon, cut into 1" or so strips
1 T olive oil
1 t garlic powder
1/2 t paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese or balsamic glaze (optional)
 
Directions
 
Preheat air fryer to 375°F for 3-5 minutes.
 
Rinse and trim the Brussels sprouts, cut in half. I quarter the larger ones.
 
In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chopped bacon to the mix and combine well.
 
Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts and bacon in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
 
Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
 
Check for doneness. The sprouts should be crispy on the outside and tender inside.
