Notes

  • Try varying the seasoning! You can use honey and sriracha to make sweet-and-spicy brussels sprouts, red pepper and parmesan for a spicy kick with crisp cheese, or simply use olive oil and sea salt if you like a subtle natural flavor.
  • It's important not to overcrowd your air fryer so the sprouts cook correctly. Make sure none of them are overlapping in the basket or tray.
  • You can preheat the air fryer, but it isn't necessary for this recipe. The sprouts will come out crisp even if you do not preheat it.
