Ingredients For This Recipe Brussel SproutsOlive OilSaltRed Pepper FlakesTips For Making Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts Prepping The Brussel Sprouts Buy firm sprouts without any blemishes. Wash them and trim off the bottoms. Cut the sprouts in half and if they are extra-large, cut them into quarters. Don’t Use Too Much Oil Unlike traditional frying, air frying does not use the same about of cooking oil. I use just enough olive oil to give a light coating on the sprouts and they turn out perfectly crispy and light. Make Sure To Shake The Basket Halfway Through Cooking This ensures that the brussel sprouts get tossed around and cooked evenly. Season, Season, Season! Brussel sprouts have a mild, cabbage-like flavor and they need to be seasoned correctly. I keep things simple with good sea salt and red pepper flakes before cooking and after the sprouts have come out of the air fryer. Just give them a taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
