Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts Recipe

Cooking Brussels sprouts that get perfectly crispy edges without using a ton of oil or sugar is almost impossible…

(These Bacon Brussels Sprouts are the crispiest I’ve made so far.)

That is, unless you cook your Brussels sprouts in the air fryer!

With just a little bit of oil, and literally no sugar, you can easily make the absolute BEST and CRISPIEST Brussels sprouts you’ve ever tasted.

Yes, they are healthy, low-carb, vegan, and gluten-free!

And on top of that perfectly cooked texture, they’re also ready in almost half the time.

So when you’re looking for a super quick side to add to just about any meal – these Air Fryer Brussels can be your new go-to dish!

There’s also an optional Asian honey Sriracha sauce you can add on at the end.  Totally up to you but it does add a bit of a delightfully sweet and spicy kick to the sprouts.

Ingredients

The main ingredients you need are Brussels sprouts, oil, salt, and pepper.

For reference, a 1-pound bag of Brussels sprouts will give you about 4 cups.

And for 1 pound of Brussels sprouts you’ll need about 1 tablespoon of oil.

While you can just pop the sprouts in the fryer with those basic seasonings, drizzling on a bit of an Asian Honey Sriracha sauce at the end will take them over the top!  (I’ll include this quick recipe below.)

You can also try drizzling on a homemade Balsamic reduction or adding in some chopped bacon if you’d prefer, too!

Prepping the Brussels Sprouts

If you purchased a bag of whole and raw Brussels sprouts you’ll first need to cut and prepare them before air frying.

1. First, cut off the end of the Brussels sprout. (step 1 above)
2. Place the cut-side part of the sprout flat-side down on the cutting board.  Cut the Brussels sprout in half. (step 2 above)
3. Repeat this process with the remaining sprouts.

How to Make

Once you have the Brussels sprouts cut in half you’ll want to mix it together with the oil and seasoning ingredients.

1. Whisk together oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. (step 1 above)
2. Add Brussels sprouts and stir until they are well coated in the sauce. (step 2 above)

Air Frying

The air fryer is very much like an oven in that it needs a little bit of time to heat up.  At a minimum, you always want to heat your air fryer for at least 3 minutes before adding in your food for the best results.

1. Heat air fryer to 375°F for at least 3 minutes. (step 1 above)
2. Add Brussels sprouts to the heated air fryer and cook for 10 minutes, tossing the basket halfway through cooking. (step 2 above)

Asian Honey Sriracha Sauce

1. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, and Sriracha sauce in a small bowl. 
2. Drizzle the sauce over all of the cooked sprouts and toss to combine.
3. Serve them immediately OR for extra crispy edges:  Return the sprouts to the air fryer and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
