The Easiest Air Fryer Frozen Brussels Sprouts
Description
The Easiest Air Fryer Frozen Brussels Sprouts recipe uses frozen sprouts tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, cooked at 390°F. Cooking in the air fryer basket spreads the sprouts in an even layer to ensure crisping on the outside without losing their tender centers. Tossing halfway through helps them brown evenly. The result is a pleasant combination of crispy edges and tender interiors with a natural savory flavor enhanced by simple seasoning.
The method eliminates the need to trim or halve frozen sprouts, simplifying preparation. The recipe suggests serving with parmesan cheese or a squeeze of lemon, or drizzling balsamic vinegar for varied tastes. This makes the sprouts suitable as a straightforward side dish or snack with versatile flavor options.
Notes emphasize ensuring space between sprouts for even crisping and indicate that cook time may vary by air fryer model. It also offers oven bake alternatives and guidance for storing leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, recommending reheating in the air fryer to restore crispness.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Brussels sprouts frozen
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 /4 teaspoon salt more to taste, fine sea salt
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
Instructions
- In the basket of the air fryer (or a separate mixing bowl) toss the frozen brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in an even layer in the air fryer basket. No need to trim or halve frozen brussels sprouts.
- Set the air fryer to 390°F. Cook the brussels sprouts for 10 minutes and toss. Continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes until the outside leaves are crisp and slightly charred. Time may vary depending on the model of air fryer you use.
- Serve with parmesan and lemon or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. See the post for more serving suggestions, too!
Notes
- Arrange sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crisping.
- Cook times may vary depending on your air fryer model; adjust as needed to achieve a crisp, slightly charred exterior.
- If oven baking, preheat to 450°F and bake the seasoned sprouts about 20 minutes, tossing halfway through.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
