Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts with Buffalo Ranch Dipping Sauce
Crispy and tender Brussels sprouts are a great side dish and now even easier in the air fryer! A hint of garlic and a spicy buffalo ranch dipping sauce bring the flavor level up a few notches!
Trim sprouts by cutting off the section that attaches to the stalk and remove any loose leaves and save the leaves.
Half or quarter the sprouts to be all the same size, not larger than the diameter of your thumb.
Mix the olive oil and garlic in a bowl.
Toss the quarters/halves in the oil and garlic mixture.
Add them to the airfryer and cook at 350F for 15 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes, checking for your level of doneness that you prefer.
While they are cooking, prep the buffalo ranch dip by mixing the ranch and hot sauce to your level of spiciness.
When the sprouts are done, remove to a serving bowl.
Toss the loose sprout leaves in the leftover oil/garlic mixture.
Add to airfryer basket and cook at 350F for 1-3 minutes or until crispy but not burnt.
Remove and eat as a snack or sprinkle on top of sprout quarters/halves as a nice crunchy topping.
Enjoy!

Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container. To reheat, pop in the basket and cook at the same air fryer temperatures mentioned in the recipe, adding a few extra minutes to account for having been in the fridge.
If you prefer sweet over salty, try creating a mixture of sweet maple syrup and soy sauce to toss your brussel sprouts in.
To kick your brussel sprouts up a notch, add in some salty bacon and top with parmesan cheese, onion powder, lime juice, or black pepper. You can also add some additional salt, based on your preferences.
For tender and flavorful brussel sprouts without the crunch, try cooking the whole thing in the instant pot instead.
To avoid using a ton of oil, try buying a cooking spray, rather than drizzling from the bottle.
