There is nothing better than a bowl of Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts And Bacon! It is so good! The air fryer is the perfect way to cook these, to absolute perfection perfectly!
If you have not used the Air Fryer to roast vegetables, let me tell you they are so good! They are so tender, crispy, and delicious! So much better and faster than roasting them in a traditional oven.
Today, I added bacon which does amazing in the Air Fryer and is so crispy! The bacon fat gives the Brussels Sprouts many flavors, and you end up with a rich and delicious palate of Brussel Sprouts!
So much so that my 16-year-old was asking when I would be making them again! Talk about that for a compliment!

Can These Be Made Ahead?
Yes, these can be made ahead of time. I often make them the day before and then reheat them.
They are great for meal prep and nay holiday. I usually make these for the Thanksgiving holiday, which becomes a great time saver.
How To Reheat:
There are two ways to reheat these, and you can either reheat them in the microwave or the air fryer.
To reheat them in the microwave, place them into a microwave-safe bowl, and reheat until warm.
To reheat in the air fryer, place them into the air fryer basket, and heat until warmed up. I would use a setting of 350 degrees F, air fryer setting, and heat until warmed through.
Which Air Fryer to Use
I have made this recipe in several of my air fryers. Today I used my Gourmia 5 Quart, which is perfect for roasting vegetables.
It is a great one, and so easy to use!
This recipe will work in any air fryer model, including Instant Pot Vortex, Ninja Foodi, GoWise, and the New Instant Pot Crisp Lid.
Can you fry Brussels Sprouts in bacon grease?
Yes, it would probably be best to do this in a skillet since the bacon would cause the Air Fryer to smoke.
Cook the bacon in the skillet, as you would normally do, remove the bacon from the skillet, and add your Brussels Sprouts, saute until golden brown.
