Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitutions:
- Avoid overcrowding Brussels in basket- This will prevent them from getting crispy. Cook in batches if you have to.
- Don't skip shaking the basket and giving Brussels sprouts a toss- This will allow them to cook and get crispy evenly.
- No maple syrup?- Substitute for honey.
- Substitute avocado oil for any other oil- Like coconut or olive oil.
- Switch up your walnuts for other nuts- Raw pecans or pine nuts are great in this recipe too!
- No dried cranberries?- Dried cherries make a great substitute.
- No air fryer?- Use oven instead. Preheat oven at 350 degrees F. Place Brussels sprouts in a large baking sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding here too. Roast Brussels sprouts for 25 minutes.
