Brussel sprouts may be one of my favorite foods of all time. They can easily be incorporated into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and appetizers. Add a little sweet and spicy glaze and crisp em up and they’re perfect. Better yet, they can be quickly and easily whipped up in both an air fryer, or an oven if you don’t have one yet, so you can make them anywhere!

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag of brussel sprouts
  • Olive oil
  • ¼ C maple syrup
  • 1-2 tbsp sriracha (depending on how spicy you prefer it to be)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder

Now you make it:

  1. Wash and cut brussel sprouts in half longways and set aside in a bowl
  2. Preheat air fryer or oven to 350 
  3. Coat sprouts in olive oil til they are just barely all covered
  4. If oven baking, microwave brussel sprouts for 5 minutes to precook
  5. Add spices and maple syrup and sriracha and mix until sprouts are covered evenly
  6. Oven- spread out on a baking sheet (cover pan with foil first!!) and bake for 15 min, and then turn on the broiler for 3 minutes, but watch them closely so they don’t burn, especially with the sugar in the maple syrup 
  7. Air fryer- Put half of the mixture in the air fryer for 12 min, pausing halfway to shake them. Once finished, repeat with second half
  8. Top with any remaining glaze when plating
  9. Drool…and then serve immediately
