Notes
- Size Matters: Smaller sprouts can be left whole, larger ones should be halved or quartered.
- Shake it Up: Shake the basket every 2-3 minutes.
- Watch Closely: Keep an eye on the sprouts to prevent burning.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Cook in batches to ensure crispiness.
- Less Greasy: Make Air Fryer Bacon first, then chop it and add to the cooked Brussels sprouts.
