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

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and trim the stem ends. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise to maximize the crispy surface area during cooking.
  2. Season the Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and optional garlic powder until each piece is evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking from the start.
  4. Cook the Brussels Sprouts: Place the sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer for optimal airflow. Cook for about 15 to 18 minutes, shaking the basket or stirring the sprouts halfway through to crisp all sides evenly.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the Brussels sprouts from the air fryer once golden and crispy, and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Trim and halve the sprouts evenly to ensure uniform cooking and maximize crispy edges.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; allow space for air to circulate to achieve crispiness.
  • Shake or toss the sprouts halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the size of the Brussels sprouts; smaller sprouts require less time.
  • Consider adding fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice, or various toppings after cooking for extra flavor.
