Description

Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts cooked to perfection with olive oil, garlic powder, and topped with tangy balsamic cream and savory Parmesan cheese in just 17 minutes. A perfect healthy side dish or snack with a delightful blend of textures and tastes.

Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts

Seasonings and Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic cream
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Trim off the ends and remove any browned or damaged outer leaves for freshness and to ensure even cooking.
  2. Cut if needed: If your Brussels sprouts are larger than 1 inch in diameter, cut them in half or quarters to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy. Smaller sprouts can be left whole.
  3. Season the sprouts: Place the cleaned Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, then sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder evenly over them. Toss everything together until the Brussels sprouts are fully coated with oil and seasonings.
  4. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F and preheat for 3 minutes to ensure a crisp outer texture.
  5. Air fry the Brussels sprouts: Add the seasoned Brussels sprouts to the air fryer basket in a single layer for optimal cooking. Air fry for 5 minutes, then remove the basket and gently shake to mix and flip the sprouts for even browning. Return to the air fryer and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes until they reach your preferred level of crispiness.
  6. Serve with toppings: Transfer the crispy Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl. Drizzle with balsamic cream for a sweet tang and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for a nutty, salty finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you prefer extra crispiness, extend the final cooking time by 1-2 minutes but keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  • You can substitute balsamic glaze if balsamic cream is unavailable.
  • For a vegan version, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
  • Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps achieve evenly crisped Brussels sprouts.
  • Adjust seasoning amounts to taste, especially salt and garlic powder.
