Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts
Description
Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts is a quick method to cook fresh Brussels sprouts by trimming them to sizes appropriate for even cooking, then tossing with a minimal amount of olive oil and coarse sea salt. The air fryer heats the sprouts at around 370° to 380°F, which crisps the outer leaves and softens the centers during a 13-minute cook time stirred once.
The process produces Brussels sprouts with a caramelized exterior and tender interior, capturing their natural nutty, slightly bitter flavor enhanced by the simple seasoning. This approach avoids oil saturation and delivers a roasted texture without needing an oven.
Serve these sprouts as a side dish suitable for lunch or dinner. They can be paired with sauces or additional spices after cooking for variety. The recipe notes specify trimming guidelines depending on sprout size to ensure even cooking.
Smaller sprouts are left whole, medium ones halved, and large sprouts quartered or cut into thirds for uniform roasting. This technique promotes consistent tenderness and crispness across pieces.
