Air Fryer Frozen Brussel Sprouts
Brussel sprouts are one of those vegetables that you either love them or hate them.
I used to hate them as a kid, but at my first job as a dietitian, I learned to love them.
They used to serve them the same day as eggplant parmesan, so I got them with a side of marinara sauce, and I was hooked!
