Ingredients

Sprouts

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt & pepper

Bacon

4 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces

Finish

1 tbsp balsamic glaze

2 tbsp grated Parmesan

Equipment

Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

1
Toss halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2
Add chopped bacon to the basket with the sprouts — the bacon fat renders and bastes everything.
3
Air fry at 390°F for 15-18 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes, until sprouts are charred and bacon is crispy.
4
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with grated Parmesan.

💡

Tip: Cut sprouts in half — flat sides down gives maximum caramelization. Loose outer leaves will fly around; that's fine, they become the crispiest chips.
