CRISPY AIR FRIED BACON BRUSSELS SPROUTS INGREDIENTS:

This recipe is so simple it only requires four ingredients...

• ½ lb Fresh Brussels Sprouts: I recommend trying to purchase brussels sprouts from a local farmer's market. It's always nice to give business to small farmers right in your hometown and the freshness is superior.
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil: Any brand of olive oil will get the job done, but to make this recipe even more nutritious try Sky Organics Organic First Greek Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Remember: Little choices, like swapping out one olive oil for another, can make a big difference in our long-term health!
• Salt to taste: Again, any salt will do, but if you want to add some adventure into this recipe try using Himalayan Pink Salt. Despite, its beautiful color Himalayan Pink Salt tastes exactly like regular salt. One difference is that Himalayan Pink Salt is lower in sodium than ordinary salt making it slightly better for you.
• 2 chopped strips of cooked Bacon: Follow this link for an easy Air Fryer Bacon recipe.

HOW TO MAKE AIR FRIED CRISPY BACON BRUSSELS SPROUTS

1. Prep the brussels sprouts. First, wash the brussels sprouts by rinsing in cool water. I recommend using a colander. Trim the ends of the brussels sprouts if needed. If the brussels sprouts are not already cut in half you will need to use a sharp chef's knife in order to do so. Make sure to use a cutting board, so you don't damage your countertop.

2. Toss with olive oil and salt. Put the brussels sprouts in a medium-sized bowl. Then, add the olive oil and salt. Toss the ingredients using whatever utensils you have on hand just like you would a tossed salad. Make sure that the brussels sprouts are evenly covered with the oil and salt.

3. Fry. First, set your air fryer to 350° F. Then, place the brussels sprouts into the air fryer evenly. Let cook for 4-6 minutes.

4. Flip. Take the brussels sprouts out and give them a toss. This is to ensure they cook evenly. Then, place them back in the air fryer for another 4-6 minutes.

5. Top it off. Remove the brussels sprouts from the air fryer. Top with your freshly cooked bacon pieces and enjoy!
