Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts

These Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts are the best Brussels sprouts you will ever make! They are easy, flavorful, and cook up in minutes.

Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts

Before I got an air fryer, I didn’t love making Brussels Sprouts. Sometimes I would cook Brussels Sprouts in the oven, or sometimes I would boil them, but they just never wowed me. Now that I know how to air fry them, I make them all the time! This air fryer recipe produces crispy Brussels Sprouts with tender insides. They make a great veggie side dish with chicken or beef.

Ingredients

• Brussels Sprouts – Make sure to peel off any papery or brown outer leaves before preparing.
• Olive Oil – Olive oil helps the Brussels sprouts crisp up in the air fryer.
• Balsamic Vinegar – Brussels Sprouts are naturally bitter and vinegar helps to balance the bitterness.
• Salt and Pepper – Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Parmesan Cheese and Lemon Wedges – I like to serve the Brussels Sprouts with freshly grated parmesan cheese and lemon wedges, just to round out the flavors.
• Other Toppings – Sometimes I like to switch it up and add some other flavors to this dish. I have added Sriracha or red pepper flakes for a little spice. I have added a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Sometimes I add lemon juice to the olive oil and vinegar mixture. On occasion I add garlic powder or onion powder. If I am making these for my kids, I will add a little maple syrup to sweeten things up. Really, there are so many ways you can make these Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts your own.

Method

1. Start by washing and drying the Brussels Sprouts.
2. Then, cut the end of the stem off, and cut the sprouts in half.
3. Place the sprouts in a bowl and toss them with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
4. Place the Brussels Sprouts in the air fryer and cook at 370 for 10 minutes.
5. Halfway through the cooking time, remove the basket and shake it to make sure the sprouts don’t burn.
6. Serve immediately with parmesan cheese and lemon wedges.
7. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
