Servings: 2
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Brussels Sprouts roots trimmed and halved lengthwise
- 2 tbsp neutral-flavored oil
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp honey
- Neutral-flavored oil spray
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.

Notes
Brussels Sprouts Sizes: Yse brussels sprouts of similar sizes. The more even and uniform the sizes are, the more evenly they will cook and turn crispy in the air fryer. When the brussels sprouts vary significantly in size (smaller or larger than the rest), some brussels sprouts may burn in the air fryer, while others end up only slightly crispy or even underdone.
Cooking Times May Vary - Cooking times can vary based on the type of air fryer you are using and the size of your brussels sprouts. Make sure to check the brussels sprouts as they are cooking in the air fryer to ensure that they are done to your liking. Feel free to adjust the time according to your preferences.
Give Them a Good Shake and Be Generous with the Oil - After air-frying the first time, check the brussels sprouts and give them a good shake in the basket. This will help re-distribute them, which helps each one crisp up and turn golden brown. Make sure to spray oil again before air-frying again - the oil (fat) is the main ingredient that helps the brussels sprouts become crispy. Being generous with the oil will guarantee the brussels sprouts will turn out amazing!
Storage - Store any leftover Brussels Sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The brussels sprouts will soften as they sit in the refrigerator and lose any crispiness - this is normal. Reheat in the microwave until warmed through or in the air fryer at 375F for 3-5 minutes (check for doneness and adjust to your preference).
