Air fryer
Mixing bowl
Tongs
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice optional, for finishing
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts:
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or wilted leaves. Slice larger sprouts in half for even cooking.
Season:
In a mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper until well coated.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
Cook:
Place the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Finish:
For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle with balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
