Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/4 tsp (heaped) each of salt and black pepper
  • 1 small head of garlic
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp tamari (or soy sauce)

Instruction

  • You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Remove any brownish outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts and trim off the long ends. Cut the sprouts in half (lengthwise) and add them to a medium-large bowl.
  • Drizzle them with oil and stir in salt and black pepper. Transfer the sprouts to your air fryer basket (I recommend spraying the basket with a little cooking spray).Check the recipe notes below for the oven method.
  • Slice off the top of the head of garlic, brush it with a little oil and wrap it in a piece of aluminium foil. Add the wrapped garlic to the air fryer basket.
  • Cook at 370 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, and shake the air fryer basket after 8-10 minutes.
  • While the Brussels sprouts and garlic cook, make the optional maple balsamic glaze by adding all ingredients to a small saucepan. Stir the mixture and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the glaze cool to thicken.
  • After 15 minutes, remove the Brussels sprouts from the air fryer basket and continue to cook the garlic for 5 more minutes. Let it cool and then mash it with a fork.
  • Drizzle the Brussels sprouts with the balsamic glaze and add some of the mashed garlic. Enjoy!
