Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts
Description
This Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts recipe starts by trimming the stems and halving larger sprouts to ensure even cooking. They are seasoned with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder for a flavorful coating. The sprouts are arranged in a single layer in a heated air fryer basket to promote crisping and evenly cooked interiors. Cooking for 10 to 12 minutes with a midway shake creates sprouts that are crisp on the outside while tender inside, highlighted by browned caramelized edges.
The addition of lemon juice just before serving adds acidity that complements the savory and mildly nutty flavor of the sprouts. The air fryer technique offers a convenient way to achieve a roasted texture without an oven, while shaking the basket helps prevent steaming and promotes even browning.
Storing leftovers in an airtight container keeps them fresh for 4-5 days in the refrigerator. The trimming and halving step is the most time-consuming but can be done ahead to streamline the cooking process. Serving suggestions include as a side dish to accompany various proteins or tossed into salads for added texture.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 lemon for serving
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Heat an air fryer to 380ºF and spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Prepare the Brussel sprouts by trimming their stems and cutting larger ones in half so they are relatively equal in size.
- Place the cleaned trimmed Brussel sprouts in a large bowl along with the olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Toss to combine.
