Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts Recipe
Description
The Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts Recipe features halved sprouts tossed in a mixture of oil, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper, then air fried at 370°F for about 10 minutes with a mid-cook toss to ensure even crispness and cooking. After air frying, the sprouts are coated with a simple sauce combining soy sauce, honey, and Sriracha, which provides a blend of savory, sweet, and spicy notes that contrast the sprouts’ natural slightly bitter flavor. Optional red pepper flakes add extra heat.
The resulting sprouts have crispy surfaces from the air fryer’s dry heat, balanced by tender insides, while the glaze adds a glaze-like finish and moisture. This recipe lends itself well to making extras, since the sprouts freeze well without the sauce, and can be reheated in an air fryer or oven to revive their texture. The simple ingredient list and steps make it suitable for side dishes accompanying many main courses.
For optimal texture, the sprouts should be sliced evenly to ensure all pieces cook similarly. Preheating the air fryer helps achieve crispness. Once cooked, serve immediately to enjoy their best texture and flavor. While the recipe is straightforward, it has flexibility to incorporate additions such as bacon, cheese, onions, or balsamic glaze if desired.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. When freezing, omit the sauce and toppings, placing the sprouts in a freezer-safe container, and reheat them in an air fryer or oven to restore crispness.
