Air fryer Crispy Brussels Sprouts

Brussels Sprouts Size: For even cooking, try to select Brussels sprouts that are similar in size. If some are larger, consider cutting them into slightly smaller pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
Air Fryer Capacity: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation. If necessary, cook the Brussels sprouts in batches to achieve optimal crispiness.
Crispiness Preference: Adjust the cooking time as per your preference for crispiness. Extend the cooking time by a few minutes for extra crispy Brussels sprouts or reduce it slightly for a softer texture.
Seasoning Variations: Experiment with different seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes, or balsamic vinegar to customize the flavors to your liking.
Serving Suggestions: Serve these crispy Brussels sprouts immediately after air frying to preserve their crunchiness. They pair well with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or a squeeze of lemon for added zest.
Storing Leftovers: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to revive their crispiness.
Health Benefits: Brussels sprouts are rich in vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. Air frying helps retain their nutrients, offering a healthy snack or side dish option.
Kid-Friendly Option: To make this dish more appealing to children, you can sprinkle a small amount of their favorite cheese over the Brussels sprouts before air frying for added flavor.
