Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
- 1 Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Brussels Sprouts roots trimmed and halved lengthwise.
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp neutral-flavored oil
- Neutral-flavored oil spray
Instructions
- Remove the Brussels sprouts’ root, cut them in half lengthwise (vertically), and place them in a basin.
- Season the brussels sprouts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and honey after adding the oil with no flavor. Stir until every Brussels sprout has a uniform coating.
- Put the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Singe or loose leaves that have fallen off the Brussels sprouts should be removed since they will burn.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes. Toss the brussels sprouts around in the air fryer basket. Once again, air fry at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, or until incredibly crispy.
Notes
- Give Them a Good Shake: Be sure to give the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket a good shake before checking on them. By doing this, the Brussels sprouts will cook more uniformly and be redistributed. Each one should become crispy and turn a gorgeous golden brown!
- Be Generous With Your Oil: The oil is what allows these Brussels sprouts to become crispy in the air fryer, so make sure to coat each one evenly. If a little extra oil is required, don’t be scared to use it!
- Cooking Times May Differ: Several variables can affect cooking times, such as the kind of air fryer you’re using and the size of your Brussels sprouts.

Why Did My Brussels Sprouts Burn in The Air Fryer?
If you don’t shake the air fryer basket while cooking, you run the danger of the sprouts burning before they are done. Are Brussels sprouts air fryable without oil? Sprouts air-fried without oil will cook, but their center will remain firm.
Why Do You Soak Brussel Sprouts Before Cooking?
The sprouts become softer in the middle throughout the soak period. They won’t become soggy, so don’t worry! I would never treat you in that way. Brussels sprouts don’t need to be soaked before cooking if you enjoy a little grit to your veggies like me.
