Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts is made with Brussels sprouts, olive oil, balsamic glaze, grated Parmesan; air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes to serve 4. 130 calories per serving.
Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Trim ends and halve Brussels sprouts. Remove any loose outer leaves (save them — they get extra crispy).
- 2
Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place cut-side down for maximum caramelization.
- 3
Air fry at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, shaking once at 8 minutes, until deeply browned and crispy on the edges.
- 4
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with Parmesan, cranberries, or pecans.
Tip: Cut-side down is the secret — that flat surface gets the most contact with the hot air and caramelizes beautifully. Don't overcrowd or they steam. Those loose leaves that crisp up like chips? Best part.
