### Step 1: Preparing the Brussels Sprouts
1. **Trim and Halve:** Rinse brussels sprouts under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
2. **Halve:** Cut each brussels sprout in half, ensuring that they are even-sized for uniform cooking.
### Step 2: Toss with Seasonings
3. **Mix Oil and Spices:** In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, brown sugar (if using), and maple syrup.
4. **Toss Vegetables:** Add the halved brussels sprouts to the bowl. Toss well until they are evenly coated in the seasoned oil mixture.
### Step 3: Cooking in Air Fryer
5. **Preheat Air Fryer:** Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for about 5 minutes.
6. **Load Vegetables:** Place the brussels sprouts into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
7. **Cook:** Cook for approximately 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
### Step 4: Preparing Maple Mustard Mayo
8. **Mix Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise and dijon mustard. Stir well to ensure the flavors blend evenly.
9. **Add Sweetener (Optional):** If you prefer your sauce to have a hint of sweetness, you can add a small amount of maple syrup and mix again.
### Step 5: Serving
10. **Serve Hot:** Once done, remove brussels sprouts from air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
11. **Dip Vegetables in Sauce:** Serve the roasted brussels sprouts hot with the maple mustard mayo on the side or mixed in as a dressing.
#### Tips for Perfect Results:
- Ensure brussels sprouts are evenly sized to cook uniformly.
- Use an air fryer basket that is not too full to allow proper air circulation and crispy results.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese over the roasted brussels sprouts before serving.
