Brussels sprouts are one of those foods people tend to just love or hate but if cooked properly, you can turn a hater into a lover. I am one of those people that is picky about the preparation of this vegetable. I can’t go near a boiled Brussels sprout. This dish needs texture to be really good. Air Fryer Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts are tender inside with a crunchy outside. The flavor is a little bitter but also sweet and a tad nutty. The balsamic vinegar and honey adds to the sweetness. Salt is an important ingredient in this recipe to reduce the bitterness and also boost the sweetness.
