Air fryer Brussels sprouts
Ingredients
- 50g butter, melted
- 500g frozen Brussels sprouts (if fresh, cut in half)
- 100g bacon lardons
- 50g pre-cooked chestnuts, chopped
- Sea-salt flakes and ground black pepper
Method
Heat the air fryer to 180°C/350°F. Meanwhile, cut your sprouts in half if you’re using fresh ones.
In a large bowl, mix the butter with the sprouts, season with sea-salt and pepper and place in the air fryer basket.
Add in the bacon lardons as well, and cook for five minutes before removing the basket and adding in the chopped chestnuts. Give it all a shake before cooking again for around five to 10 minutes, depending on how crispy you like the sprouts.
Then, they’re ready to serve straight away with your Christmas dinner.
Poppy says the chestnuts adds a lovely bit of ‘Christmassy sweetness’ to your sprouts, whilst the crispy bacon elevates the vegetable with a flavoursome crunch.
