Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts is one of the best ways to enjoy a side of low-carb vegetables. The crispy seasoned exteriors of each brussel sprout are totally addictive - not firm but not over soft on the inside! Serve these tasty veggies with my homemade and healthy chipotle aioli.
Ingredients
Brussels sprouts - you’ll need 1 pound of Brussels sprouts, washed and trimmed. If you have larger-sized sprouts, simply cut them in half.
Oil - I’ve used olive oil to coat the Brussels sprouts with seasoning as I enjoy the taste but you could also use vegetable oil or even an unscented coconut oil instead if you wish.
Bacon - cooked to crispy pieces. While this is completely optional, it’s a great addition to the dish, especially if you plan on serving this during a holiday or special event.
Parmesan - grate the Parmesan from a block, don’t use pre-shredded Parmesan for this recipe. Keep extra on the side for garnish.
Onion powder - this provides a depth of flavor that’ll make you come back for more! Keep it simple!
Garlic - make sure to use 1 fresh clove of garlic, minced. This will provide a much deeper flavor than using garlic powder. Garlic should be added in the end along with the parmesan cheese to prevent over frying.
