Description
These air fryer Brussels sprouts achieve a perfectly crispy, caramelized texture that oven roasting rarely matches. By utilizing circulating hot air, this method chars the outer leaves into a chip-like crunch while keeping the center tender. It is a quick, healthy, and flavorful side dish that turns simple miniature cabbages into a standout addition for any busy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Trim the tough woody ends off each Brussels sprout.
Slice every sprout in half vertically.
Remove any yellowed or loose outer leaves.
Toss the sprouts in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for three minutes.
Arrange the sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning.
Notes
Ensure you arrange sprouts in a single layer to avoid steaming. If your air fryer is small, work in batches to maintain the necessary airflow for crispiness.
