Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Brussels sprouts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for at least 5 minutes.
  • Rinse the Brussels sprouts under running water, then pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towels. Trim the ends and cut in half, or quarters if they’re large.
  • Place the sprouts in a bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
  • Transfer the Brussels sprouts to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 4 minutes, then shake the basket and cook for 3 more minutes.
    Tip: Check for crispness. If you’d like them crispier, cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

Notes

  • Cut Large Sprouts: Halve or quarter sprouts over 1 inch for even cooking.
  • Dry Well: Moisture prevents browning, so make sure the sprouts are dry before seasoning.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer so they crisp instead of steam.
  • Shake the Basket Midway: This helps the sprouts cook and brown evenly on all sides.
  • Check for Crisp Edges: Look for golden, caramelized edges when done.
