Air Fryer Crispy Parmesan Brussels Sprouts
Description
This recipe uses halved Brussels sprouts coated in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, seasoned simply with salt and black pepper. The air fryer crisps the exterior while keeping the interior tender. After an initial crisping, the sprouts are sprinkled with whole wheat breadcrumbs and shredded Parmesan cheese, adding a crunchy, cheesy crust during a second air-fry phase. This technique brings out bold textures and complementary flavors.
The crisp exterior contrasts with the tender interior, enhanced by the tang of balsamic vinegar and the richness of Parmesan. It makes an appealing vegetable side that can complement a variety of main dishes or be enjoyed on its own.
The recipe provides nutritional information and serving size, making it easy to include in meal planning. Brussels sprouts prepared this way offer a flavorful and healthy vegetable option for those looking to enjoy this often underused vegetable in a tasty and approachable style.
Use the air fryer to achieve a crispy texture without deep frying, and serve immediately for best results.
