Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts
This recipe prepares Brussels sprouts tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then cooked in an air fryer until tender with slightly crispy edges. Quartering larger sprouts ensures even cooking. The method highlights a quick way to develop roasted flavors and a tender texture.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts halved, or quartered if extra large
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Toss brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Cook in the Air Fryer at 375°F for 4 minutes.
- Shake and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or just until tender.
Notes
- Choose Brussels sprouts of similar size; cut larger ones in half to ensure even cooking.
- Add seasonings like garlic powder or Cajun spice before cooking for additional flavor.
- Consider topping cooked sprouts with Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
- Finely chop toppings to make it easier for them to stick to the sprouts.
