Bonefish Brussel Sprouts Ingredients

• Brussels Sprouts: Use fresh and blemish free sprouts!
• Bacon: Adding a savory crunch and smoky flavor, bacon complements the natural taste of Brussels sprouts. Thick-cut bacon is recommended for a meatier bite.
• Maple Syrup: Pure maple syrup provides a natural sweetness that balances the saltiness of the bacon.
• Olive Oil: Helps to give the Brussels sprouts a golden crisp when air fried.
• Kosher Salt: Enhances the flavors and melds them together.
• Black Pepper: Adds a mild heat and aromatic element to the dish.
• Garlic Powder (optional): Adds an extra depth of flavor, complementing the natural taste of the Brussels sprouts.
• Red Pepper Flakes (optional): For those who like a little kick!

How To Make Bonefish Brussel Sprouts

Step One: Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Trim off any yellow or damaged leaves, cut off the stems, and halve them. Chop the bacon strips into small bite-sized pieces.

Step Two: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts, chopped bacon, olive oil, maple syrup, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Mix well to ensure the sprouts and bacon are well coated.

Step Three: Turn on your air fryer and preheat to 375 degrees F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes. Once preheated, carefully transfer the Brussels sprouts and bacon mixture to the air fryer basket, spreading them out in an even layer. Set cook time for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Bonefish Brussel Sprouts Recipe Tips

• Choose Fresh, Firm Brussels Sprouts – Smaller, tightly packed sprouts roast more evenly and develop a better caramelized flavor.
• Cut Evenly – Halve all sprouts similarly so they cook uniformly in the air fryer.
• Use Maple Syrup Sparingly – A little sweetness enhances caramelization without making them soggy.
• Shake the Basket – Tossing halfway ensures even crispiness on all sides.
• Optional Add-Ins – Sprinkle with Parmesan or crushed red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
• Don’t Overcrowd – Cook in batches if needed to maintain crispiness.

Storing & Reheating Instructions

• Storing Instructions: Store leftover Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
• Reheating Instructions: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes or in the oven at 375°F for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness.

Copycat Bonefish Brussel Sprouts Recipe Faqs

Do I need to preheat my air fryer? Yes, preheating your air fryer helps achieve a consistent cooking temperature from the start, ensuring even cooking. It typically takes 2-3 minutes to preheat.

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts? Yes, you can. However, fresh Brussels sprouts yield the best results.

Why are my Brussels sprouts not crispy? There could be excess moisture on your sprouts, or the air fryer may be overcrowded. Dry the sprouts well after washing and cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.

Can I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon? Absolutely! Turkey bacon is a leaner option, but remember it might not be as crispy or flavorful as traditional pork bacon.

Can I add other seasonings or ingredients? This recipe is versatile. You can add ingredients like crushed pecans, grated parmesan, or even dried cranberries for a different twist..

Why is my bacon burning before my Brussels sprouts are done? This can happen due to the bacon’s thickness or if the pieces are too small. Try using thicker bacon cuts or adding the bacon a few minutes after starting the Brussels sprouts.

Can I make this recipe in an air fryer oven? Yes. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and roast for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are crispy and the bacon is cooked.
