ingredients for maple brussel sprouts in bowls

Key ingredients:

Brussel sprouts-Be sure to cut the end off of the brussel sprouts, then dice them in half. If the brussel sprouts are really big, cut them into fourths.
Maple syrup-Make sure it is pure maple syrup. There are a lot of brands out there that have other additives in there. Make sure to get the good stuff!
Garlic powder-Minced, This goes so well with the maple syrup.
Avocado oil-The best oil for air frying because it has a smoke point of 500. I suggest staying away from olive oil when air frying because it has a really low smoke point.

How to make maple brussel sprouts:

Which kind of air fryer should I use?

I am obsessed with this ONE! I have had it for quite some time. Not only is it an air fryer but it also functions as an instant pot, crock pot, and dehydrator.
