Description

Perfectly golden, crisp, and caramelized, these air fryer Brussels sprouts are a quick and delicious side dish. Lightly seasoned and cooked with just a touch of oil, they’re crunchy, flavorful, and easily customizable.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1½ tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: balsamic glaze or Parmesan for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Arrange the sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  4. Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until sprouts are crispy and browned on the edges.
  5. Serve immediately, optionally drizzled with balsamic glaze or sprinkled with Parmesan.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Try tossing with lemon zest or fresh herbs for a fresh finish.
