Ingredients
  • 1 lb Brussels Sprouts
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Balsamic Glaze
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Preparation

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Preheating ensures the Brussels sprouts cook evenly and become crispy.

Prepare Brussels Sprouts

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and halve or quarter them, depending on their size. This allows for more surface area to get crispy.

Season Brussels Sprouts

In a bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure they are evenly coated.

Air Fry

Place the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are tender and crispy.

Add Balsamic Glaze

Remove the Brussels sprouts from the air fryer and transfer them to a clean bowl. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and toss to coat evenly.

Serve

Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately as a side dish. They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.

FAQ

  • Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts?

    While fresh is best, you can use frozen. Thaw them completely and pat them very dry before seasoning and air frying to ensure they crisp up.
  • What if I don't have balsamic glaze?

    You can make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar until it thickens into a glaze, or substitute with a different sauce like maple syrup or honey.
  • How do I prevent the Brussels sprouts from burning?

    Keep a close eye on them while they're air frying and shake the basket regularly to ensure even cooking. Reduce the temperature slightly if they are browning too quickly.
