Crispy Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts
Description
This recipe transforms fresh Brussels sprouts into a crunchy snack or side dish by trimming and halving the sprouts, then coating them with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and crushed black pepper. They are air fried at 340°F in single layers to ensure even cooking and crispiness. After initial cooking and shaking, they cook further to enhance crunch.
Once crisped, the sprouts are tossed with soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, which adds a flavorful glaze that contrasts with the roasted taste. This creates a balance between the crispy roasted texture and the sticky sour-salty glaze.
For best results, uniform sprout sizes help in consistent cooking time. Serving immediately preserves the crisp texture, as standing too long in the glaze can make them soggy. Cooking in batches is advised if your air fryer basket is small. This dish is suitable as a warm side or snack.
The notes include important tips about size selection, batch cooking, and timing to maintain texture and flavor integrity.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts fresh, washed and dried
- 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

- Place them back into the large bowl and pour in the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Stir until evenly coated.

Notes
- Select Brussels sprouts of similar size for even cooking; quarter larger sprouts rather than halving.
- Cook in a single layer to maximize crispiness; cook in batches if needed.
- Serve immediately after dressing to avoid sogginess; keep warm if making ahead and toss with dressing just before serving.
- Adjust cooking time depending on sprout size, adding extra minutes for larger pieces.
