Instructions
- Trim the stem end off of each brussels sprouts, and peel off any leaves with brown spots on them.
- Chop Brussels sprouts in halves, lengthwise and place them in a large bowl.
- Add melted butter, garlic, salt, and pepper and toss to coat.
- Next, add in the parmesan cheese and stir to coat well.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375° F.
- Place the Brussels sprouts in a single layer and cook for 6 minutes or until nicely golden, shaking with basket halfway through. (don't overcrowd the basket so they cook evenly and more crispy)
- Sprinkle with extra parmesan if you'd like.

Notes
- Check them after 4 minutes to make sure they are cooking evenly. Depending on your air fryer and the size of the Brussels sprouts, they may cook faster or slower.
- Swap the butter for olive oil for a dairy-free option.
- Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or cayenne for some heat.
- Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, balsamic glaze or maple syrup.
- Use pecorino, asiago, or even cheddar cheese for different flavors.
- Use other spices such as paprika, chili powder, or lemon pepper.
- Add bacon bits the last 2-3 minutes. I like to use microwave bacon and crumble it over top.
