    Tips for Cooking Brussels Sprouts in an Air Fryer

    • Make sure to cut Brussels sprouts into even-sized pieces. Brussels are dense vegetables. Therefore, cut them in uniform pieces to make sure they cook evenly. 
    • Season the brussels well is important! A good amount of oil, salt and pepper does the trick. 
    • Don’t overcrowd your Brussels sprouts. Layer the sprouts evenly in the air fryer basket. 
    • Shaking the brussels in between is important’. Give the air fryer basket a little shake halfway through cooking to expose brussels that may have been covered up.
    • Every air fryer is different. You might have to increase your cooking time a bit to get them crispy and delicious!

    What can I pair it with?

    You can serve it on the side of any quinoa bowl. Although this is a good snack to eat as is, but you can serve it on the side of Fettuccine Alfredo or Creamy Pesto Pasta too.

    How can I season the Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts?

    There are plenty of ways to season these besides just salt and pepper. 
    Some of the best ways to season up your sprouts include:
    • Grated parmesan cheese
    • Crumbled feta cheese
    • Red chili flakes
    • Diced red onion
    • Slivered almonds
    • Dried cranberries
    • Squeeze of Lemon Juice
    • Garlic Powder
    • Ranch Seasoning
    • Balsamic Vinegar Drizzle
    • Honey drizzle

    How to store the leftovers?

    Store the leftovers in air tight container and refrigerate. I wouldn't recommend freezing these since they might become mushy on re heating. Although if you are ok with that, then go ahead and freeze them for upto 4-5 months in freezer friendly bags.

    How to Re-heat the refrigerated brussels?

    Simply take these out and microwave for 2 minutes in microwave safe plate. Or you can re-heat these on gas top in a pan.
