Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts – Thanksgiving Side Dish

If you’re looking for a healthy Thanksgiving side dish, that is still a TOTAL crowd pleaser – look no further. These maple bacon brussels sprouts are the perfect addition to any holiday meal. And with the bacon-brussels ratio the people ACTUALLY want, keto-friendly maple syrup, & the help of an air-fryer, these taste WAY more indulgent than they actually are🙌🏼

RECIPE: THANKSGIVING AIR-FRIED MAPLE BACON BRUSSELS SPROUTS

WHAT YOU NEED

• ~8 cups brussels sprouts (halved or quartered, depending on the size)
• 1 pack organic bacon (pasture-raised if you can find it) 
• 1/3 cup Lakanto monkfruit maple syrup (or sub real maple syrup)
• 1/4 cup olive oil 
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

HOW TO MAKE EM

1. Combine maple syrup, olive oil, vinegar & spices and mix thoroughly
2. Cut brussels in half (or quarters depending on the size) and coat thoroughly with the seasoning mixture
3. Add to the air fryer – to get the most *crisp* possible, split into 2 batches, then air-fry at 350 for 18-20 minutes – stirring halfway through; repeat for the second batch 
4. Serve & enjoy!

If you can tolerate dairy, these would also be epic with a little goat cheese👌🏼 And you can make these vegetarian friendly by simply omitting the bacon
