You’ll Need
500g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
150g smoked bacon lardons or chopped streaky bacon
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
Optional But Dangerous
Parmesan shavings
Honey drizzle
Chilli flakes
Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Place the Brussels sprouts into a large bowl.
Add the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Toss thoroughly until coated.
Add the bacon and mix through evenly.
Place everything into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 200°C for 14–18 minutes, shaking halfway through, until the sprouts are caramelised around the edges and the bacon is crisp.
For extra festive colour, give everything a final 2-minute blast at 205°C.
Remove carefully and transfer to a serving dish.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
