Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts

My Favorite Parmesan Brussel Sprouts Recipe

Growing up, even the word “brussel sprout” made me gag! I had no idea what I was missing out on in life. Once they are crispy and brown, they are like candy! The easiest way to cook them are in an air fryer. Super fast and easy to make as a side dish for dinner. My husband never liked them either until he tried these and now every time we have steak, he requests them!

Just cut up the brussel sprouts, mix together the secret sauce, coat them fully then place in the air fryer. Wa-la! Easy peasy recipe.

If you don’t like the parmesan cheese you could also just toss the cut up brussel sprouts in a little olive oil then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Follow the cook time below. If you want to use frozen brussel sprouts, you will just need to add on to the time and keep checking them periodically if they’re brown with a crust over them = perfection!

It doesn’t matter if the brussel sprouts are facing down or up in the air fryer, they all get nice and crisp! Next time I’m going to cut up pieces of bacon and throw them on top. Delicious! There are so many ways to prepare them.
