A quick and easy recipe for crispy Brussels sprouts with a tangy balsamic glaze, perfect as a snack or side dish. This air fryer method ensures a golden, crunchy exterior without sogginess.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 pound of Brussels sprouts under cold water. Trim the stem ends and halve each sprout lengthwise. Dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to avoid sogginess.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (if using), 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
  4. Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12 minutes, then shake or toss gently with tongs. Continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes until sprouts are deeply golden and crispy on the edges.
  5. While the sprouts cook, whisk together 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar with 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup in a small bowl.
  6. Transfer cooked Brussels sprouts back to the mixing bowl. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over them and toss gently to coat evenly.
  7. Serve immediately for the best crunch.

Notes

Dry Brussels sprouts thoroughly before cooking to ensure crispiness. Shake or stir halfway through cooking for even browning. Serve immediately after glazing to maintain crunch. Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes. For vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
