Ingredients
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 1 Tbsp olive oil 15 mL
- ¼ tsp each salt and pepper
Hot Honey (Optional)
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prep: Remove the tough ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any damaged outer leaves. Rinse under cold water and pat dry. If your sprouts are on the large side, cut them in half. Toss in oil, salt, and pepper.
- Air Fry: Arrange Brussels sprouts in a single layer in your air fryer, working in batches if they don't all fit. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8 to 12 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through cooking to evenly brown them. They are done when lightly browned and crispy on the edges.
- Hot Honey: Stir honey and pepper flakes together in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 10 to 15 seconds, until hot. You can strain the pepper flakes out if you want the spicy level to be more mild.
- Serve: Serve sprouts warm drizzled with hot honey!

Notes
- Garlic: About halfway through cooking, toss the Brussels sprouts with a few minced garlic cloves or some garlic powder.
- Balsamic: Drizzle balsamic reduction (a thickened balsamic vinegar) over the Brussels sprouts right before serving.
- Parmesan: Grated Parmesan cheese makes the perfect topping to sprinkle over air-fried Brussels sprouts!
- No Oil: You can air fry these Brussels sprouts with no or less oil (though I recommend using some oil for flavor). To use less oil, spray the sprouts with oil to coat them evenly. To use no oil, simply omit it from the recipe or use some lemon juice.
- Frozen: To air fry frozen Brussels sprouts, space the sprouts out more in the air fryer to allow excess moisture to evaporate, then add 3 to 5 minutes to the cooking time.
- Oven: To cook these in the oven, cook them at 425°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes, or until golden and a bit crisp around the edges.
