In a bowl big enough to hold the brussels sprouts, stir together the pecan butter, balsamic vinegar, tamari, and maple syrup to form a sauce.
Prep the brussels sprouts
Clean the Brussels sprouts by rinsing and drying them, then removing the stem base and any undesirable leaves. Cut them in half and add them to the bowl.
Once about half of the Brussels sprouts have been cleaned and trimmed, set the air fryer to 400 degrees for 9 minutes. Then finish cleaning and trimming.For oven roasting, set the oven to 400 degrees (F).
Fold all of the trimmed brussels sprouts into the sauce until well coated.
Roast
To air fry, line an air fryer tray with a silicone baking mat, then pour the Brussels sprouts onto the mat and evenly distribute them. If not using a baking mat, pour the Brussels sprouts onto the air fryer tray over the sink so that any sauce drippings drip into the sink. When the air fryer is ready, put them in to roast. If they don’t look sufficiently roasted after 9 minutes, add another minute at a time until they do. If oven roasting, evenly distribute them on a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet and roast them for 20 minutes; add more time until they reach the desired color.
Sprinkle with the garlic salt, if using, and pepper, then serve. Best eaten immediately.
Notes
Serves four as a generous side.These nutty oil-free roasted brussels sprouts are easy to make and a delicious way to utilize your air fryer! Note: Don’t have an air fryer? No problem! Roast them at 400 degrees, checking them after 20 minutes until they’re nice and roasted.
