How to Prepare Brussels Sprouts in the Air Fryer

1. While the air fryer is preheating, in a bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper to evenly coat.
2. Pour the 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of your air fryer. This helps to steam the sprouts.
3. Add the Brussels sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
4. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 13 minutes, shaking the basket at least once halfway through, for even cooking.
5. Once done, transfer the Brussels sprouts to a bowl and sprinkle with flakey salt before serving.

How to Serve and Store

• Serve: These air fryer Brussels sprouts are best served immediately after cooking, while they’re still crispy. They make a great side dish for air fryer salmon, air fryer chicken breasts, roasted chicken, steak, or a vegetarian meal. You can also serve them as a snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
• Store: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the Brussels sprouts back in the air fryer at 350°F (177°C) for about 3-4 minutes, until they crisp back up.

Notes

• Be sure to preheat the air fryer.
• Cut the ends off of the Brussels sprouts and cut into halves or quarters.
• Season with your favorite seasonings.
• Avoid adding fresh garlic, as the garlic can easily burn in the air fryer at this temperature.
• Don’t forget to add the water to the bottom of the air fryer. This will help to steam the inside of the Brussels sprouts and create tenderness.
• Optionally, garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
