Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts – Tips and Notes

  • Preheat your air fryer. I like to preheat my air fryer for a few minutes before adding the food. This ensures that the proper temperature has been reached and that your air fryer Brussels sprouts will cook up perfectly. 
  • Don’t crowd the basket. Make sure to leave room around your sprouts so that they can cook evenly and get crispy.
  • Shake the basket a few times. This will help to ensure even cooking and that all surfaces of your sprouts get equally crispy.
  • Variations: this version uses a simple Italian seasoning blend, but feel free to cook your Brussels sprouts with just a little bit of salt and pepper in place of the spices, too.
  • How to store Brussels sprouts: Any leftover Brussels sprouts can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

FAQs

How to cut Brussels sprouts?

First cut off the bottom base part of each sprout and remove any wilting outer leaves. Slice in half vertically. You can also shred your sprouts. To do this, turn them to their flat side after cutting in half vertically, then thinly slice to create shaved or shredded Brussels sprouts.

How to roast Brussels sprouts?
