“Bacon” and Balsamic Mussels Sprouts

Trim Brussels sprouts and boil for 5-7 minutes to soften. Strain and let cool. Preheat oven or air fryer to 400°. Slice and cube up the “bacon” and crisp up in a pan over medium heat or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and into the oven. Air fryer also works. Cook for 3-7 minutes until crispy, checking often to not burn it. Make the balsamic sauce by whisking the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Slice Brussels sprouts in half and toss with the balsamic dressing. Place on a baking sheet or into the air fryer. They will need to cook for about 20-25 minutes in the oven or 10-12 minutes in the air fryer, flipping halfway. Mix with the crispy “bacon” and drizzle with extra balsamic glaze, if using.
