Balsamic Bacon Brussels Sprouts in Air Fryer
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 & 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, washed and halved if needed
- 6-8 slices bacon, halved
- Toothpicks
Instructions:
- Preparation:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for cooking.
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine the ingredients into a marinade.
- Coat Brussels Sprouts:
- Add the washed Brussels sprouts to the bowl with the marinade. Toss the Brussels sprouts in the marinade until they are evenly coated.
- Wrap in Bacon:
- Take each Brussels sprout and wrap it with a half piece of bacon. Secure the bacon in place by inserting a toothpick through the Brussels sprout and bacon to hold them together. Repeat this process for all Brussels sprouts.
- Air Fry:
- Place the bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the Brussels sprouts are tender. Check for doneness by piercing a Brussels sprout with a fork.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, carefully remove the bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. Serve them hot as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
