Ingredients
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Balsamic glaze
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Preparation

Begin by washing the Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Trim off the ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut the Brussels sprouts in half (or quarter if they are large) to ensure even cooking.

Seasoning

In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure the sprouts are evenly coated with the oil and spices for maximum flavor.

Air Frying

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the basket; you may need to cook them in batches. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly browned.

Balsamic Glaze

Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, transfer them back to the bowl. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the sprouts and toss to coat evenly. The heat from the sprouts will help the glaze to adhere and create a delicious, slightly sticky coating.

Serving

Serve immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra black pepper or a drizzle of extra balsamic glaze, if desired. These air-fried Brussels sprouts are a perfect side dish for any meal!
