Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- ¾ to 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 1 teaspoon olive oil, extra virgin
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 slices bacon, nitrate-free
- 1 pinch sea salt or Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts first. Trim the tough stem end and remove any damaged leaves. Pat them dry.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F. for 3 minutes
- In a medium bowl, toss the sprouts with extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Cut bacon slices into one-inch pieces. Add the sprouts to the air fryer basket and top with the bacon pieces.
- Air fry for 16 - 18 minutes, shaking the basket at least once partway through the cooking time.
- Check for doneness with a fork and add a minute or two more frying time, if needed.
Notes
While leftover Brussels sprouts aren't as good as freshly cooked, you can reheat them in your air fryer at 350°F. for 8 - 10 minutes.
