Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts

A package of Brussels sprouts, an air fryer and some basic kitchen ingredients are all it takes for our quick and easy vegetable side dish.

A simple recipe that will quickly become a family favorite, this is definitely an air fryer recipe for beginners.

These tiny cabbages will crisp up in your air fryer with little oil. Tossing them in a store-bought balsamic glaze will give them the ideal combination of a sweet and tangy flavor.

This recipe will turn any Brussel sprout non-believers into believers with just one bite.

I guarantee that you’ll be making these crispy brussels sprouts over and over again because it’s quick to make and so tasty too.

I love the bits of leaves that fall off and become extra crispy. They just might be my favorite part!

Now you can always roast your Brussel sprouts in the oven but you won’t be getting that same crispiness as you do in the air fryer. Our Brown Sugar Roasted Brussels Sprouts cook in the oven and are truly divine. You’ll definitely want to give that recipe a try too.
