Recipe Tips

Here are some recipe tips for making delicious air fryer roasted Brussels sprouts:

  • Uniform Size: Try to cut the Brussels sprouts into uniform sizes so they cook evenly. This ensures that they all finish cooking at the same time and prevents some from becoming overcooked while others are still undercooked.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer with some space between them to allow for proper air circulation. This helps them crisp up evenly.
  • Dry Thoroughly: After washing the Brussels sprouts, make sure to pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Excess moisture can prevent them from getting crispy in the air fryer.
  • Season Generously: Don’t skimp on the seasoning. Brussels sprouts can handle bold flavors, so be sure to season them generously with salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices you like.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheating the air fryer helps ensure that the Brussels sprouts start cooking immediately when you put them in. This helps them develop a nice crispy exterior.
  • Shake the Basket: Shake the air fryer basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure that the Brussels sprouts cook evenly on all sides. This also helps prevent them from sticking together.
  • Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on the Brussels sprouts towards the end of the cooking time. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside when done.
  • Serve Immediately: Brussels sprouts are best enjoyed hot and fresh from the air fryer. Serve them immediately as a side dish or snack for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy!

Can I Use Frozen Brussels Sprouts? While fresh Brussels sprouts typically yield the best results, you can use frozen Brussels sprouts in the air fryer. However, keep in mind that frozen Brussels sprouts may require slightly longer cooking times.

Can I Add Other Vegetables? Absolutely! Brussels sprouts pair well with a variety of vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or onions. Just ensure that the vegetables you choose have similar cooking times to the Brussels sprouts.

How Do I Store Leftovers? If you have any leftover roasted Brussels sprouts, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes until heated through.

Can I Use Oil Spray Instead of Tossing in Oil? Yes, you can use oil spray instead of tossing the Brussels sprouts in oil. However, tossing them in oil ensures that they are evenly coated, resulting in a crispier texture.

How Do I Prevent Them from Becoming Soggy? To prevent the Brussels sprouts from becoming soggy, make sure to pat them dry thoroughly before seasoning and cooking. Additionally, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, as this can trap moisture and prevent proper crisping.

Can I Use Different Seasonings? Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and flavor combinations to suit your taste preferences. Some popular options include garlic powder, smoked paprika, balsamic glaze, or Parmesan cheese.

What Can I Serve Them With? Air fryer roasted Brussels sprouts make a delicious side dish for a variety of meals. They pair well with roasted meats like chicken or pork, grilled fish, or even as a topping for salads or grain bowls. Enjoy experimenting with different serving ideas!
