A Note from CJ
The easiest Brussels Sprouts recipe ever!
I love my Roasted Brussels Sprouts recipe so much but I know many people prefer using the air fryer – so I developed this Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts recipe! It’s super easy – all you have to do is mix in the seasonings, give the brussels sprouts a generous spray of oil, and put them in the air fryer! The brussels sprouts turn out SO crispy, tender, and delicious!
Easy side dishes are my jam – try my creamy Mashed Potatoes, Baked Mac and Cheese , Honey Roasted Carrots, Creamed Corn, Potatoes au Gratin, Twice Baked Potatoes, Roasted Potatoes, and Roasted Green Beans with Bacon!
Super crispy and got a nice char on them that my husband loved. Super easy and delicious!
Ingredient Tips
Refer to the recipe card for the full list of ingredients and measurements!
- brussels sprouts: use brussels sprouts of similar sizes. The more even and uniform the sizes are, the more evenly they will cook in the air fryer.
- garlic powder: for this recipe, I prefer garlic powder over fresh garlic – minced garlic has a tendency to burn in the air fryer.
- honey: the honey helps with caramelizing the brussels sprouts – several readers have shared that they made this with hot honey to great success!
How to Make Crispy Brussels Sprouts in the Air Fryer
Cut and Season Brussels Sprouts – Trim off the root of the brussels sprouts and cut them lengthwise (vertically) into halves and transfer them to a bowl. Add the neutral-flavored oil to the brussels sprouts and season them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and honey. Mix until all the brussels sprouts are evenly coated.
Air Fry – Place the brussels sprouts in a single layer into your air fryer basket. Remove any loose single leaves that have fallen off the brussels sprouts as they will burn. Air fry at 400F for 12-14 minutes. Give the air fryer basket a good shake to mix up the brussels sprouts, and spray with a light coating of neutral oil spray. Air fry a second time at 400F for 8-10 minutes until super crispy.
