- Trim sprouts by cutting off the section that attaches to the stalk and remove any loose leaves and save the leaves.

- 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.

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.
