Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts with Bacon

Thanksgiving is coming up and there are lots of side dishes you can make in your air fryer to save up oven space like these Brussel Sprouts with Bacon. This side dish is low carb and the Brussel sprouts contain a lot of fiber. The bacon and cheese are just an extra added bonus for extra deliciousness.Anyways… make these Brussel sprouts next time in your air fryer and give them a chance if you’ve never tried Brussel sprouts before.

Thanksgiving is kind of like the unnoticed Holiday in America. Once Halloween is over people are all out decking their homes with Christmas decorations and coming up with gift guides for the Holidays. I actually like Thanksgiving because of all the good food and being with family and people you love. Plus I also love keeping my pumpkin decorations up until that Holiday! Let me know in the comments below when you decorate for Christmas.

What to serve with Brussel Sprouts? 

The serving size for these brussels sprouts makes about 3 -4 servings. It is perfect for a smaller-sized family or 2 people living together. Serve these Brussel sprouts with some roasted turkey breast ( 3 or 4 pounds) and a side of mashed potatoes. 

What Ingredients do I need? 

In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients’ purpose is for. 

Brussel Sprouts – fresh brussel sprouts, have not tried with frozen 

Salt and Pepper   – to taste 

Olive Oil –  I like to use the Organic Simply Nature Brand from Aldi 

Parmesan Cheese – freshly grate yourself 

Bacon – Fully Cooked – such as Hormel’s Black Label Bacon that you just have to put in the microwave for 1 minute. I like to use fully cooked bacon because of the difference in cooking times with the Brussel sprouts.
