Equipment

1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

1 pound brussels sprouts rinsed and cut in halves
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese plus more for topping
1 - 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar for finishing

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
Make sure your brussels sprouts are rinsed and cut in half. Place them in a large bowl.
Add the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Once the air fryer has preheated, add the brussels sprouts to the air fryer basket.
Cook for 5 minutes. Remove the basket from the air fryer, toss the brussels sprouts, and add the parmesan cheese on top. It’s ok if some of it falls through the grate.
Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until desired crispness.
Remove the basket, serve warm with additional parmesan on top and a drizzle of balsamic.

Notes

1 serving is 1/4 of the recipe. I like to take the dish and divide it into 4 portions.

You could also drizzle balsamic glaze over too.

The brussels sprouts used were a small-medium size. If you have large brussels sprouts, you may need to increase the cook time a few minutes, depending on how crispy you like them.

Sweet & Tangy: Add honey or maple syrup for a caramelized finish.
