This Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts recipe offers a quick, healthy, and delicious way to enjoy crispy, tender Brussels sprouts bursting with natural flavor. Perfect for busy weeknights or gatherings, it requires minimal effort while delivering maximum taste and a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
  2. Season the Sprouts: Place the halved sprouts in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly over them. Toss gently until every sprout is well coated but not drenched.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for about 3 to 5 minutes. Preheating helps achieve a crispy exterior faster.
  4. Air Fry the Brussels Sprouts: Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through to promote even crisping.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once golden and crispy, transfer the sprouts to a serving dish. Add an optional splash of fresh lemon juice or balsamic glaze for extra flavor before serving.

Notes

  • Choose smaller Brussels sprouts for more even and quicker crisping.
  • Dry sprouts thoroughly before oiling to avoid steaming instead of crisping.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure proper air circulation and crispiness.
  • Shake or toss the sprouts halfway through cooking to promote even browning and prevent burning.
  • Adjust cooking time by a few minutes depending on Brussels sprouts size and your air fryer model.
