Copycat Ruth Chris Brussels Sprouts Recipe Tips

  • Choose Fresh Brussels Sprouts: For the best results, use fresh Brussels sprouts rather than frozen. Fresh ones crisp up better and retain more flavor.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: To achieve even cooking and a crispy texture, place the Brussels sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding.
  • Shake the Basket Halfway Through: Shake the air fryer basket halfway through the cooking process to ensure the Brussels sprouts cook evenly and crisp up on all sides.
  • Use a Light Coating of Oil: Lightly coat the Brussels sprouts with olive oil or cooking spray. This will help them crisp up without being overly greasy.
  • Season to Taste: Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your liking. If you prefer a bit of heat, you can add chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
  • Finish with a Drizzle of Balsamic Glaze: After cooking, drizzle the Brussels sprouts with a little balsamic glaze or your favorite sauce for added sweetness and flavor.
  • Serve Immediately: These Brussels sprouts are best served immediately while they’re hot and crispy!

Storing

  • Storing: Store leftover Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Be sure to let them cool down to room temperature before storing.
  • Reheating: Reheat the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes until they’re crispy again. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a hot skillet with a little oil for a few minutes.
