Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts
Description
Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts are made by trimming and halving or quartering the vegetables to ensure uniform cooking. Tossed with olive oil and basic seasoning, the sprouts are air fried at 375°F for about 7 minutes total. Shaking the basket mid-cook helps achieve even crisping and prevents burning.
The result is a tender interior with some caramelized, slightly crisp edges distinctive of roasted Brussels sprouts, but achieved in a shorter time without an oven. The method allows flexibility to add seasonings such as garlic powder or Cajun spice, and finishing touches like Parmesan or balsamic glaze can enhance flavor after cooking.
This preparation serves well as a side dish or snack, especially when a quick vegetable side is needed.
The notes suggest selecting similar-sized Brussels sprouts and finely chopping toppings to help them adhere better if used.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts halved, or quartered if extra large

Notes
- Choose Brussels sprouts of similar size; cut larger ones in half to ensure even cooking.
