- Spread the vegetable mix in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave room on all sides.

Notes
Instead of adding maple syrup and cinnamon, other variations include topping the finished dish with parmesan. Or how about mixing in some precooked bacon or adding a little balsamic glaze.
Brussel sprouts are technically soft and cooked through sooner than 17-18 minutes but they'll still have their bitter taste. Cooking them until slightly charred brings out their caramelized flavor and reduces the bitter taste.
Mix in other vegetables like mushrooms, onion slices, or small pieces of butternut squash.
Whether you have a basket style unit or oven style, the cook time should be similar. However, all models can vary so keep an extra close eye on the recipe the first time you make it and adjust the time accordingly to your model.
For best results, make sure the sprouts are spread in an even layer and have space on all sides.
