Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Toppings
- Grated Parmesan cheese, to taste
- Balsamic glaze, to drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, add the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts along with the olive oil, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Toss everything thoroughly until the sprouts are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
- Preheat Air Fryer & Transfer: Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts into the basket of the air fryer. Spread them out in an even layer to promote even cooking and crisping.
- Air Fry Brussels Sprouts: Cook the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer at 370°F for 11-12 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through if desired to ensure uniform browning. The sprouts should be browned on the edges and tender inside when done.
- Add Finishing Touches: Once cooked, transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. Sprinkle with additional ground black pepper, grated Parmesan cheese to taste, and drizzle with balsamic glaze to serve immediately.
Notes
- For even cooking, try to select Brussels sprouts of similar size before halving.
- Shaking the air fryer basket halfway through cooking helps achieve a crispier texture.
- Balsamic glaze adds a sweet and tangy contrast but can be omitted for a simpler dish.
- For a vegan option, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the air fryer for best results.
