Ingredients
- 4 cups Brussels sprouts fresh or frozen
- 100 g feta
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- ⅛ cup pomegranate molasses
- 1 pomegranate or ½ cup pomegranate arils
- salt
- pepper
- Olive oil or nonstick spray
Instructions
- For the crispiest brussels sprouts, begin by washing them with water before drying them with a paper towel. Cut off the stems at the bottom and slice each sprout in half. Alternatively, keep the sprouts whole if you prefer a more chewy texture.
- Line an air fryer basket with an air fryer liner and then transfer the brussels sprouts. Spray sprouts with nonstick spray or olive oil, and add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure every sprout is evenly coated.
- Bake at 360 F for around 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through, until lightly browned. Whole sprouts will take approximately 12-15 minutes to cook, while frozen brussels sprouts require 15-17 minutes (depending on the size).
- After baking, transfer the brussels sprouts to a bowl. Drizzle balsamic vinegar and pomegranate molasses over the top, stirring to ensure every sprout is coated. Finally, transfer to a clean serving dish, sprinkle with feta cheese and pomegranate seeds, and serve warm.
- To bake brussels sprouts in the oven, lay the brussels sprouts out on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.
