Description
Brussels sprouts in the air fryer transform into crispy, caramelized delights that are both nutritious and easy to make. Perfect for any meal!
Ingredients
- – 1 lb Brussels sprouts: Choose firm sprouts with no yellow leaves
- – 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil: Adds richness and helps achieve crispiness
- – 1 tsp sea salt: Enhances natural flavors
- – 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper: Adds a zingy kick
- – 1 tsp garlic powder: Provides an extra layer of flavor
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Your Sprouts: Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts. Cut off the tough stem end and slice them in half. For extra crispiness, you can quarter them.
- 2. Seasoning Time: In a large bowl, toss the halved sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- 3. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to preheat at 375°F (190°C).
- 4. Air Fry Those Sprouts: Place seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- 5. Cooking Magic: Air fry for 15-18 minutes, shaking or tossing halfway through for even browning.
- 6. Serve and Enjoy: Once golden brown and crispy, transfer to plates or bowls. Optionally, sprinkle more salt or add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
