Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb brussels sprouts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil extra-virgin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder optional
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze for serving
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise. Soak them in cold water for about 15 minutes to keep them moist and tender inside.
  • Drain and thoroughly dry them with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  • Mix the spices in a small bowl (or use a big mixing bowl). Add the oil and honey and stir to combine. Pour the mixture over the Brussels sprouts and toss with your hands to coat them well.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F/190°C.
  • Place the seasoning Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through (I like to flip the sprouts to make sure they cook evenly), until they're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Transfer the air fryer Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.

Notes

To store: Place any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F/175°C for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
To freeze: While it is possible to freeze, I don't recommend it as their texture may become mushy. If needed, store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
