Prep: 15 min · Cook: 16 min · Yield: 6 · Method: Air Fryer

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds brussels sprouts
• 12 slices bacon
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon kosher salt

Cooking instructions

1. Trim the stem ends from the Brussels sprouts and remove any loose outer leaves. Cut very large sprouts in half; leave small sprouts whole. Cut each bacon slice in half crosswise. (about 5 min)
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the glaze for serving. (about 2 min)
3. Wrap each Brussels sprout with a half-slice of bacon, placing the seam underneath. Arrange the wrapped sprouts seam-side down in the air-fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Lightly season with the salt. (about 8 min)
4. Air-fry at n/a — 400°F
5. Air-fry at 400°F for 8 minutes. Turn the sprouts, brush with the remaining glaze, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes more, until the bacon is browned and crisp, the sprouts are tender when pierced, and the bacon reaches at least 145°F. If needed, cook 1 to 2 minutes longer for crispness. (about 14 min) — 400°F
6. Transfer to a platter, rest for 3 minutes, and serve warm with the reserved maple-Dijon glaze. (about 3 min)
