  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Wash and dry the Brussels sprouts thoroughly to ensure they crisp up well. Trim the ends and slice each sprout in half lengthwise for even cooking.
  2. Season the Sprouts: In a mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder to add extra flavor.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 to 5 minutes. This helps the sprouts start cooking immediately once placed inside.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket halfway through to ensure even browning and crispiness.
  5. Final Touch and Serve: Once the sprouts are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh herbs or cheese before serving for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Dry the Brussels sprouts completely before oiling to prevent steaming instead of crisping.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow hot air circulation for even crisping.
  • Shake or toss the basket halfway through cooking for uniform color and texture.
  • Use high-quality oils like extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil for best flavor and health benefits.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model and sprout size for perfect results.
