Brussels sprouts, with their delightful combination of nutty flavor and crispy texture, have become a favorite vegetable for many. And when it comes to cooking them, the air fryer has revolutionized the game. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about making perfect Brussels sprouts in an air fryer, from preparation to seasoning to cooking techniques.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
- Gather all ingredients and preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 15 minutes.
- While the air fryer is preheating, trim Brussels sprouts. Place in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well.
- Spread sprouts evenly in the air fryer basket.
- Cook in the preheated air fryer for 15 minutes, checking and shaking the basket halfway through the cycle.
- Serve and enjoy!
Cook’s Note
I’ve got a 10-quart fryer; if the sprouts look crowded in your basket, make yours in two batches, putting the first cooked batch in a 170-degree F (75-degree C) oven to stay warm while you cook the second.
