Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts with Bacon from Andrea:

(recipe from always use butter)

1/2 lb brussel sprouts cleaned, bottom removed and cut in half
1/4 lb bacon chopped
2 T balsamic vinegar
1 T olive oil
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper

 Preheat the air fryer by running it for 5 minutes at 350 degrees. In a small bowl mix together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Place the brussel sprouts in one half of an air fryer basket and place the chopped bacon in the other half. If there is any balsamic mixture left over you can save this to pour over before serving.

Air fry for 5 minutes then remove the air fryer basket and mix the brussel sprouts and bacon gently still keeping them on separate sides of the air fryer.

Air fry for 5 more minutes, then remove the air fryer basket and mix the bacon and brussel sprouts together. Raise temperature and Air fry for 5 minutes at 390 degrees, until bacon is crispy.

If desired, pour over any remaining balsamic mixture from the bowl, then serve.
