About
We love a delicious Low Carb Air Fryer recipe made with plenty of vegetables! Low Carb Paleo dish is made with olive oil-coated Brussels sprouts that also have been tossed with sweet onions. The sweet potatoes are finely diced and tossed with olive oil, sweet paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt. Both sets of vegetables are cooked to perfection in the air fryer. This meal can easily be made in the oven if you do not have an air fryer too.
