By far, the single best thing to come out of my air fryer has been Brussel sprouts. To add to that claim, I try not to eat anything green…and, have never been a fan of vegetables in general. Once they were done cooking, a single sprout had to be tested, for science….and, I could not stop eating these crispy balls of bacony goodness. No matter what your feelings are about brussels, you need to try this recipe as soon as possible.

This recipe takes about forty minutes to assemble and cook. Trust me, it’s worth the wait, tastes out of this world, and is surprisingly healthy. Brussel sprouts are not only keto friendly, they’re gluten free as well. This makes for a great side to go along with most proteins, and you can easily double the amount if you’re entertaining. If you’re not using an air fryer, all of my recipes can also be made on a sheet pan in the oven.

Can you tell me what is the point of the pyrex dish? Just to combine the ingredients? My Air Fryer is round so I can’t imagine I would be putting the entire square dish in there.
Yes, mine is square with shelves. The dish just let’s me keep everything together. I’d say you don’t need it in one of the round air fryers.
