The air fryer has revolutionized food! I love making healthier versions of my favorite foods that would normally be deep fried. I also love how quickly the air fryer cooks food.

I’m always looking for ways to add healthy vegetables to my diet and brussels sprouts are a great veggie because they’re highly nutritious and low carb. Brussel sprouts look like mini cabbages and can be found at the farmers market from August to March in the United States. They’re a cruciferous vegetable and are considered a healthy plant-based food to include in your diet.

Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts Recipe

For this recipe you will need a pound of brussels sprouts, extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper and parmesan cheese.

Place the brussel sprouts in a microwave safe bowl with a cup of water. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until slightly tender. Alternatively, you can blanch the Brussel sprouts in boiling water for 2-3 minutes or until tender.

Drain the tender brussels sprouts and let them cool. Lay the Brussel sprouts on a paper towel lined baking sheet. Then use a flat pan or spatula to flatten the Brussel sprouts. Remove the paper towels and drizzle the Brussel sprouts with a tablespoon of oil and season with the garlic , onion, paprika, salt and black pepper. Toss the sprouts in the seasoning to coat them well.

Next, place the smashed brussel sprouts onto a greased pan or air fryer tray, and air fry at 275 degrees fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Then, flip the brussel sprouts and air fry for another 10 minutes. Increase the temperature to 350 degrees fahrenheit and air fry until crispy.

Remove the air fryer brussel sprouts from the air fryer and place them on a serving plate. Sprinkle the crispy air fryer brussels sprouts with parmesan cheese and serve.
