Crispy and Delicious Air Fried Brussels Sprouts Recipe

🥦 Air Fried Brussels Sprouts Recipe

✅ Ingredients (Serves 2–4):

• 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (or quartered if large)

• 1½ tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (adds flavor and helps crisping)

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• Optional: 1/2 tsp garlic powder or smoked paprika

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep the Brussels

• Trim the ends, remove any yellow/damaged leaves, and slice in half (or quarters if large).

• Rinse and dry thoroughly — moisture prevents crisping.

2. Season

• In a bowl, toss Brussels with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and optional spices (like garlic powder or paprika).

3. Air Fry

• Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

• Place Brussels in the basket in a single layer (don’t overcrowd).

• Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes.

  • They should be deeply golden and crisp on the edges when done.

🌟 Flavor Variations (Twists):

🔥 Sweet & Spicy Glaze:

• Toss cooked sprouts in 1 tsp honey or maple syrup + a drizzle of sriracha or hot sauce.

🧀 Parmesan Garlic:

• After cooking, toss with grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of garlic powder.

🥓 Bacon Brussels:

• Mix in some pre-cooked chopped bacon during the last 5 minutes.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

• Serve as a side to roasted meats, fish, or grain bowls.

• Toss into salads or pasta for texture and flavor.
