In less than 15 minutes your air fryer gives these sprouts the most delectable crispy crunch on the outside with a roasted, caramelized flavor that is out of this world!
“These brussels sprouts were the first thing we tried in our air fryer and they came out perfect! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside.”
Easy and Healthy
With only a little oil, salt, and pepper, these air-fried Brussel sprouts are a mouthwatering, but low-calorie dish that is chock-full of essential vitamins and nutrients.
The best part? Your air fryer cooks them to blissful perfection in less than 15 minutes!
How to Make Them
- Toss your halved Brussel sprouts with a little oil.
- Season with salt & pepper.
- Place the sprouts in your air fryer basket.
- Cook for 8-12 minutes at 400 degrees F, then serve and enjoy!
How to Serve
One of my favorite ways is to toss them with homemade sweet and sour sauce and enjoy them as a side dish or entree.
I like to use the sauce from this sweet & sour tofu recipe.
Tips and Tricks
- If you like a softer texture throughout, you can microwave the sprouts for a few minutes to tenderize them before frying.
- If your sprouts are burning, they may be cut too small or too thin.
- Smaller, thinner pieces of brussel sprouts will burn more easily, while larger pieces may not cook thoroughly.
- Depending on the size of the sprouts, you may need to cut them in halves or thirds to ensure that they cook evenly.

FAQs
