Back to the air fryer version!

Ingredients for Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts:

I toss the brussel sprouts in avocado oil for the air frying, then coat them in butter and garlic after they are finished cooking. 

In this sense, we need brussel sprouts, avocado oil, sea salt, butter, and fresh garlic.

If you love balsamic vinegar, you can drizzle some over the brussels once theyโ€™re finished air frying. A couple teaspoons go a long way!

You can also sprinkle the brussels with freshly grated parmesan cheese just before serving.

Letโ€™s make them!

How to Make Air Fryer Garlic Butter Brussel Sprouts:

Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F.

Chop the brussel sprouts in half and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour in the avocado oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Toss everything well until the brussels are coated with oil and salt.
