Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Brussels Sprouts are a delicious and easy appetizer or side dish that combines the smoky flavor of bacon with the crispiness of Brussels sprouts. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 8-10 slices of bacon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Toothpicks (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any loose or damaged outer leaves. Cut larger sprouts in half for even cooking.
- Season the Brussels sprouts with salt and pepper to taste.
- Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around a Brussels sprout, starting at the bottom and working your way to the top. If necessary, secure the bacon with a toothpick to keep it in place. Repeat with the remaining sprouts and bacon.
- Place the bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer for about 15-18 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the Brussels sprouts are tender. You can shake the basket or flip them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate. If you used toothpicks, make sure to remove them before serving.
- Serve the air fryer bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts as a tasty appetizer or side dish. They are best enjoyed when hot and crispy!
Note: Cooking times may vary depending on the size and wattage of your air fryer. It’s a good idea to check on the Brussels sprouts periodically to prevent overcooking or burning.
Enjoy your delicious air fryer bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts!
