Yeah but she doesn't like bacon and is trying to avoid using butter for a more healthy diet. I am with you on the butter and bacon, though I don't think it's necessary to cut the sprouts in half because she was using very small ones. Part of what she didn't like about them (besides how blackened they were) was how mushy they were inside.
OK - didn´t know that. Leave the bacon out altogether and use a little olive oil would work. Or, since an air fryer is involved, coat the sprouts in olive oil and just air fry the walnuts with them.
Thank you, I can try spraying them with olive oil next time.
I really couldn´t tell you, because I don´t possess an air fryer. However, logic would seem to say "yes" - a little less heat, a little less burning.
Yeah, I hate turkey bacon and refuse to eat it, but that doesn't mean that it's not better for us than regular bacon. Actually both are probably not good in the fact that they contain nitrates. But moderation is key.It's more healthy to use a little butter or bacon. Butter is healthier than margerine, & bacon is more healthier that the substitutes. For instance, I don't like turkey bacon! Tried it & it tastes awful!! There's no smokey flavor in it to me. And margerine is a transfat. No good!!
Oh I eat butter almost every day lolOf course, these so-called bad foods are almost or practically harmless if you eat them in moderation. I don't mean eat them everyday or for life.
Between my husband and I, we use about 1 stick per week or occasionally a little over that, LOL. Trust me, it's fine. I have been losing 10 pounds a year for the past 3 years without giving up my butter. I cook eggs in it, though sometimes I used beef fat or bacon fat, just depends. I go to the doctor regularly and my cholesterol and triglycerides are fine (I am not on meds) and they actually cut my BP meds in half on my last visit because it was only 117/80. Two weeks after they lowered the dose I went back in just for that and it was 112/80, so eventually I might not have to take it at all anymore.OMG!!! Not good!! Do you eat just a little, or big blobs of it? Trust me, butter & the taste of it is very wonderful! There's nutthing quite like the taste of butter in a freshly baked pound cake, cookies & deserts. I use it in pound cakes, cookies & all desrts, but that's about once every blue moon when I do!
Me too, and like you, losing weight while doing it. Better to have a little indulgence, than deny yourself everything and then cave to have a binge. I usually just have a slice of toast with butter in the morning, and use it for sauteeing. Not that much else, unless I'm baking. I eat more olive oil.
Bacon fat is good for seasoning a pot of greens or dried beans. But it must be kept in the fridge to keep it from spoiling.
