This is a high-fat, high-fiber, moderately carby treat that would go great with a lean protein entree. You can use a variety of methods to cook the sprouts \u2013 an air fryer is probably the healthiest method, but you can go the opposite direction and deep-fry them too \u2013 the important thing is to use very hot oil to develop good flavor and a crispy exterior. The buffalo and blue cheese sauces given here are simple and classic.<\/p>\n\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container-494\" class=\"zlrecipe-container-border\" >\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container\" class=\"serif zlrecipe\">\n  <div class=\"recipeRating\"><div id=\"post-ratings-50781\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"f339a21840\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_50781_1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/asweetlife_stars\/rating_on.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(50781, 1, '');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer;
