The sharpness of the Brussels sprouts contrasts beautifully with the sweet and sour balsamic vinegar; the bacon gives a smokey taste. The sprouts still have a bit of bite after 10 minutes; if desired, increase the cooking time for a softer texture.

10 minutes was not enough time in my Cuisinart air fryer. Had to up the temp and the time.
These were so delicious in the air fryer. So crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. I will definitely make again.
Nice your Work. https://uttercoupons.com/front/blogs
We didn’t use bacon as we are pescatarians. Added a little nutritional yeast instead- it was yummy.
I did it without the bacon and added carrots to the mix
Excellent side dish. Quick and easy to make. This will be a regular veggie side for me!!!!
Finished product awesome! Prep was more like 15-20 mins for me but I am 74 and live in a small room ! I share them with well spiced chicken thighs ! Excellent ! Thanks virtual chef !
Free handed the measurements but it came out amazing
Delicious, quick, and easy. Will make again!
The combination of balsamic and bacon was great! I should have cooked the sprouts a bit longer but I will keep that in mind for next time. I just started air frying and still getting the hang of it.
So simple and delicious.
Very good with the balsamic vinegar and bacon bits!!
Made as directed! Totally worth it! If you aren’t a pepper fan, use a little less. Enjoy!
They were overcooked at 10 minutes. Perhaps they were smaller than the sprouts in the recipe. I will do it again but less cooking time because I love sprouts and the fryer.
My brussel sprouts were on the small size so I adjusted the time accordingly. I added the called for amount of salt, but would add less next time. Everyone said they were great. Will make again.
Loved the recipe overall but I think I’ll be cutting the salt back a bit next time round.
These were really good! I’m not a huge Brussels sprouts fan, but wanted to try them in my air fryer. I made them just like the recipe and did add bacon at the end. They were very good and they only thing I would do different, next time, is to cook them just a few minutes longer.
I chose this recipe for the lower temperature of 350 F. It allowed the halved sprouts to be cooked a little longer without burning. Cooked for 12 minutes in pre-heated air fryer, tossing half way thru. Sprouts were just right. Omitted the balsamic vinegar as a personal preference. Will use this recipe again.
These were awesome.
While the taste was good, I thought these were on the dry side. My recipe looks like the picture but I had a lot of very well done leaves. I have an 1800 watt air dryer and cooked them a total of 10 minutes.
Incredibly easy to make and delicious. My brussel sprout haters even loved it!
