Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 lb brussels sprouts, washed, stems removed, and sliced in half
Seasonings & Oil
- 3 Tbsp olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp ground black pepper (to taste)
- ¼ tsp salt
Cheese
- 3 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prep: Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly, trim off the stems, and slice each sprout in half. Then pat them dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture for better crispiness.
- Season: In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. Toss everything together until the sprouts are evenly coated.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 2 minutes to ensure even cooking from the start.
- First Cook: Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer to allow proper air circulation. Cook them for 7 minutes at 350°F.
- Shake Basket: After the initial cooking time, shake the air fryer basket to turn the sprouts, promoting even browning on all sides.
- Final Cook: Continue cooking the Brussels sprouts for an additional 7 to 10 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork and have a golden brown, crispy exterior.
- Serve: Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Patting Brussels sprouts dry before seasoning helps achieve a crispier texture.
- Adjust seasoning quantities to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
- You can substitute Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast for a vegan option.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to retain crispiness.
