Scale
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp fine sea salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Trim the Brussels sprouts by removing any discolored leaves and slicing each sprout in half lengthwise from stem to end. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl to prepare for seasoning.
- Season: Drizzle the olive oil over the halved Brussels sprouts, then sprinkle garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the sprouts are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Air Fry: Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set the air fryer to 375°F and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to promote even browning. Adjust time based on your preferred crispiness.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
- You can add a splash of lemon juice or sprinkle parmesan cheese after cooking for added flavor.
- Adjust seasoning levels to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- Brussels sprouts can also be tossed with balsamic vinegar for a tangy glaze after air frying.
