Faq’s
Do I need to preheat the air fryer? Yes, preheating your air fryer for a few minutes is generally a good idea before adding the Brussels sprouts. This ensures they start cooking immediately and get a nice, even crisp.
How should I prepare the Brussels sprouts? Rinse the Brussels sprouts and trim off the stem ends. Remove any loose or yellowed outer leaves. Cut larger sprouts in half so they cook evenly.
What seasonings should I use? You can keep it simple with salt, pepper, and olive oil. However, you can add garlic powder, onion powder, or other favorite herbs and spices.
How long should I cook them? Cooking time can vary depending on your air fryer and the size of the Brussels sprouts, but it’s typically around 8-10 minutes at 375°F (190°C). Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even browning.
Can I add other ingredients to the air fryer with the Brussels sprouts? You can add ingredients like bacon bits or chopped nuts for extra flavor. Just be aware of the different cooking times for various ingredients.
How do I know when they are done? Brussels sprouts are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. A fork should easily pierce them.
Can I make them ahead of time? Yes, you can cook them ahead of time and reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving to restore their crispiness.
Is it necessary to use oil? While not absolutely necessary, some oil helps to crisp up the outer leaves and enhances the flavor. You can use a spray to coat them lightly.
Can I make them without an air fryer? You can roast them in a regular oven, though the texture may differ slightly. The air fryer tends to make them crisper.
Are air-fried Brussels sprouts healthy? Air frying is a healthier alternative to deep frying as it uses less oil. Brussels sprouts are also high in nutrients and fiber.
