Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts, rinsed, dried, stems trimmed, and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Rinse and dry the Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Trim off the stems and cut each sprout in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
  2. Season the sprouts: In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss well so every piece is evenly coated with the seasoning.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to warm up for about 3 minutes to prepare for crispy Brussels sprouts.
  4. Air fry the sprouts: Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning on all sides.
  5. Add Parmesan cheese: During the last 2 minutes of cooking, sprinkle grated Parmesan over the Brussels sprouts. Continue air frying until the cheese melts and forms a golden, flavorful crust.
  6. Serve immediately: Transfer the crispy garlic Parmesan Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and enjoy hot for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Cut Brussels sprouts into similar sizes to ensure uniform cooking and browning.
  • Make sure the Brussels sprouts are completely dry after washing to prevent sogginess and increase crispiness.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; arrange sprouts in a single layer for best results.
  • Shake or toss the Brussels sprouts halfway through cooking for even texture and color.
  • Add Parmesan cheese near the end of cooking to prevent burning and to maximize flavor.
