Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Chipotle Crema
Description
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Chipotle Crema start with trimming and halving the sprouts, followed by seasoning with olive oil, kosher salt, granulated garlic, and ground black pepper. Roasting in an air fryer preheated to 375°F crisps the sprouts while preserving tenderness. Stirring or shaking halfway through ensures even cooking and browning.
The roasting process yields sprouts with crispy edges and a tender center, enhancing their natural slightly nutty flavor. A finishing drizzle of cilantro chimichurri adds freshness and herbal brightness, balancing the savory roasted notes.
This preparation is suitable as a side dish for a variety of meals. Serving immediately maximizes the contrast between crispiness and tenderness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts stem ends trimmed and halved lengthwise
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ½ cup cilantro as chimichurri sauce ingredient
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, toss the sprouts with the oil, salt, garlic and black pepper.
- Note: If your air fryer requires preheating, preheat to 375 °F (190 °C).
- Place brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket on a single layer. Shaking the basket or stir the sprouts halfway through, around the 8 minute mark.
- Continue to roast until the sprouts are crispy on the outside and tender inside. About 15 to 20 minutes total.
