Ah, Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts—crispy, caramelized, and way better than the boiled versions most people remember. 🥬✨ Here’s a foolproof method:
🥘 Ingredients (4 servings)
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, smoked paprika, balsamic glaze, or Parmesan for finishing
🥄 Instructions
1. Prep the Brussels Sprouts
- Trim the stems and cut them in half.
- Toss them in olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional spices until evenly coated.
2. Air Fry
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place Brussels sprouts in the basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches).
- Cook for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.
3. Finish
- Optional: drizzle with balsamic glaze, sprinkle with Parmesan, or add a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
- Serve immediately while crispy.
💡 Tips:
- Cut larger sprouts smaller to ensure even cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket; air circulation is key for crispiness.
- For extra crunch, toss with a little panko before air frying.
