Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts
Description
The Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts recipe highlights halved Brussels sprouts coated with olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. These ingredients combine to enhance the natural flavor of the sprouts. Cooking at 380°F in the air fryer crisps the exterior while keeping the center tender. Periodic tossing during cooking helps the sprouts brown evenly and avoid steaming. Lemon wedges and freshly grated parmesan cheese are optional accompaniments adding brightness and richness.
This recipe creates a textured side dish that balances the earthiness of Brussels sprouts with fresh herbal notes and a slight lemon tang. The air fryer method provides a quicker alternative to roasting with a similar crisp finish. It can be served alongside many main courses or added to salads.
Preheating the air fryer ensures consistent temperature, preventing undercooked or soggy sprouts. Avoid overcrowding the basket to maintain crispiness and even cooking. Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days and reheated to maintain texture.

- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon parsley dried

Instructions

Notes
