Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, trim the ends off your Brussels sprouts to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season the Brussels sprouts: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, Brussels sprouts, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese. Use a large spoon or spatula to fold the ingredients together until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with the seasoning and cheese.
  3. Cook in the air fryer: Transfer the coated Brussels sprouts to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes at 370°F, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
  4. Serve: Once cooked, transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and top with a little extra grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use olive oil to achieve a nice crunchy exterior; alternatively, vegetable or canola oil can be used.
  • Customize the seasoning by adding red pepper flakes, paprika, onion powder, sea salt, or freshly ground pepper.
  • Make your own Italian seasoning with equal parts oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.
  • Cut larger Brussels sprouts in half or quarters for even cooking.
  • If sprouts aren’t crispy enough after 10 minutes, add 2-3 more minutes, checking carefully after 8 minutes to avoid burning.
  • Fresh Brussels sprouts provide superior texture and flavor compared to frozen; if using frozen, thaw fully and pat dry before seasoning.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 380°F for 5 minutes.
