    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.

    How to make Brussel Sprouts with Bacon 

    To print the full recipe please see the recipe card below. 

    1. Chop off the tips of the brussel sprout then slice them in half. Add to a bowl with some olive oil, salt, and pepper. 
    1. Set the air fryer to 350 degrees for 10 minutes 
    2. When the preheating is ready place some parchment paper down in the basket and spread the brussel sprouts evenly over paper. 
    3. Close the lid and let the brussel sprouts cook for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes toss the brussel sprouts and sprinkle them with the cheese and chopped bacon pieces. 
    1. Continue cooking for 2 more minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted. 
    2. Enjoy!
