Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Brussels Sprouts
Description
Enjoy crispy, flavorful Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Brussels Sprouts in just minutes! A healthy, zesty side dish with a perfect balance of tangy lemon and cracked black pepper.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Trim the stems and cut the Brussels sprouts in half. Rinse and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- In a bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Ensure they are evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The Brussels sprouts should be crispy on the outside and tender inside.
- Remove from the air fryer and garnish with extra lemon zest or a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness before serving.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper
Notes
Pro Tips:
- You can prepare this recipe in any Air Fryer Basket or Oven Model. I have made this recipe several times during the year, in the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, Mealthy Lid, and even the PowerXL. The recipe will remain the same, and the cooking time may vary.
- Try to cut the Brussels Sprouts into the same size pieces so that they all cook up evenly.
- Shake the basket several times during the cooking process, so all Brussels Sprouts cook up evenly.
- For an even quicker Air Fryer Side Dish, you can purchase the package of already washed and cut Brussels Sprouts.
