Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chopped bacon in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the basket.
- Add the seasoned Brussels sprouts to the air fryer basket with the bacon fat. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the sprouts are tender and slightly charred.
- In a small bowl, combine the cooked bacon and maple syrup.
- Add the maple bacon mixture to the air fryer basket with the Brussels sprouts. Toss gently to coat.
- Air fry for another 2-3 minutes, until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispy bacon, you can cook it separately in a pan before adding it to the air fryer.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your preference for sweetness.
- You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
