I'm Jamie Dean back in Mama's Kitchen
0:02
and you know the first week of every year
0:05
is air fryer week for mom.
0:07
So you get $20 off the air fryer the first week of January.
0:11
And the reason why we focus on air fryers
0:13
the first week of January is 'cause Lord, I'm full.
0:17
We've eaten through all the holidays now.
0:20
It's the start of the new year
0:20
so we're doing very light, easy recipes that I truly love
0:25
that we're gonna make in the air fryer this week.
0:27
And we're gonna start with Brussels sprouts.
0:30
I love Brussels sprouts.
0:32
We've cut the bottom off and we've cut these into half
0:36
and you talk about a simple recipe.
0:39
I'm gonna sprinkle a little bit of olive oil over here.
0:42
Just enough to kind of coat 'em all.
0:45
And to this we're gonna brighten it up
0:47
with some lemons zest.
0:50
It's about two teaspoons of lemons zest I think.
0:53
So I'm gonna zest this whole lemon in here.
0:55
I love lemon on vegetables, especially Brussels sprouts
0:58
'cause it cuts the bitterness a little bit
1:00
but it's also brightens it up.
1:02
It's really, really, really delicious.
1:06
So we've got our fresh lemons,
1:07
we've got our oil, our Brussels sprouts.
1:11
Now we need some salt and some pepper.
1:14
I like a little bit of salt for my Brussels sprouts
1:16
and I like pepper too.
1:18
Okay, so now all we need is brown sugar and bacon and,
1:26
We're eating good today, y'all.
1:29
Make sure you combine all this together.
1:34
Really good and simple.
1:35
This air fryer comes with this steamer basket
1:38
that is perfect for what we're doing here today.
1:41
We're gonna pop this in.
1:45
Let me try to level it out.
1:48
We're gonna air fry this on 375
1:58
Super easy, really good way to cook.
2:01
And it makes delicious vegetables too.
2:03
I mean, if you're in a time crunch this is the way to go.
2:05
So we're gonna let our Brussels sprouts
2:07
go for 10 minutes right here and then we're going to eat.
2:09
Let's go get the bacon and brown sugar ready.
2:12
Okay, y'all are about halfway through our cooking here.
2:15
Let's check on our stuff and see.
2:17
- They are taking longer than 10 minutes though, so.
2:19
- Yeah, we've had 'em in there about 12 minutes or so.
2:22
Now sometimes what mom does is
2:24
she adds a little bit of spray during the cooking time
2:27
to keep it moist and it also helps it brown up.
2:30
These look really nice though.
2:32
We're just give them a few more minutes.
2:35
I'll tell you maybe instead of 15 minutes,
2:37
we'll probably let this go about 20.
2:38
It's been in for 10, so we'll give it 10 more minutes
2:41
'cause we want 'em soft and good.
2:43
Okay y'all, I just heard it ding.
2:45
So let's take a look.
2:53
Look it's still has kept its beautiful green color.
2:58
And just in a fraction of the time.
3:01
I usually roast these in the oven when I'm cooking.
3:04
And this came out just a fraction of the time
3:08
than what you would have to use at home.
3:10
And that is beautiful.
3:12
You know, I like to kid about
3:13
where's the bacon and brown sugar.
3:15
That is really a great recipe.
3:17
But for me, I love vegetables.
3:19
And the best seasoning that a vegetable needs
3:22
mother nature's already put it on.
3:24
So we kept this simple.
3:25
Little bit of olive, some salt and pepper.
3:28
Mmm, brussel sprouts, truly one of my favorites, y'all.
3:32
Mmm. Hey I'm Jamie Dean and this is good food.
3:36
See y'all around the kitchen.
