How To Make Roasted Brussels Sprouts In Air Fryer

Here are the step-by-step directions for making roasted Brussels sprouts in the air fryer:

Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Wash the Brussels sprouts under cold water and trim off the stem ends. Cut them in half lengthwise.

Season the Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, or grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket: Once the air fryer is preheated, place the seasoned Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.

Air Fry the Brussels Sprouts: Cook the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly. The Brussels sprouts should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside when done.

Serve: Once cooked to your desired level of crispiness, transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and serve hot. Enjoy them as a tasty side dish or snack!

Optional Garnish: Garnish the roasted Brussels sprouts with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.

Recipe Tips

Here are some recipe tips for making delicious air fryer roasted Brussels sprouts:

Uniform Size: Try to cut the Brussels sprouts into uniform sizes so they cook evenly. This ensures that they all finish cooking at the same time and prevents some from becoming overcooked while others are still undercooked.
Don’t Overcrowd: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer with some space between them to allow for proper air circulation. This helps them crisp up evenly.
Dry Thoroughly: After washing the Brussels sprouts, make sure to pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Excess moisture can prevent them from getting crispy in the air fryer.
Season Generously: Don’t skimp on the seasoning. Brussels sprouts can handle bold flavors, so be sure to season them generously with salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices you like.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheating the air fryer helps ensure that the Brussels sprouts start cooking immediately when you put them in. This helps them develop a nice crispy exterior.
Shake the Basket: Shake the air fryer basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure that the Brussels sprouts cook evenly on all sides. This also helps prevent them from sticking together.
Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on the Brussels sprouts towards the end of the cooking time. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside when done.
Serve Immediately: Brussels sprouts are best enjoyed hot and fresh from the air fryer. Serve them immediately as a side dish or snack for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy!

Can I Use Frozen Brussels Sprouts? While fresh Brussels sprouts typically yield the best results, you can use frozen Brussels sprouts in the air fryer. However, keep in mind that frozen Brussels sprouts may require slightly longer cooking times.

Can I Add Other Vegetables? Absolutely! Brussels sprouts pair well with a variety of vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or onions. Just ensure that the vegetables you choose have similar cooking times to the Brussels sprouts.
