Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts in the air fryer?

Yes, you can use frozen Brussels sprouts in the air fryer, but fresh Brussels sprouts tend to crisp up better. If using frozen, make sure to thaw and pat them dry before seasoning to avoid sogginess. Cooking time may vary, so check for tenderness and crispness after 12–15 minutes.

How can I make these air fryer Brussels sprouts spicier?

To add a spicy kick to your Brussels sprouts, sprinkle in red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper along with the garlic and onion powder. You can also drizzle a spicy sauce, such as sriracha or hot honey, over the cooked Brussels sprouts for an extra layer of heat.

Can I store leftover air fryer Brussels sprouts?

Leftover Brussels sprouts can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 350°F to restore their crispy texture. Alternatively, you can use a conventional oven to reheat them.

Instructions

Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and slice them in half. Pat them dry with a towel.
In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 2 minutes.
Place the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 7 minutes, then shake the basket.
Cook for an additional 7-10 minutes until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender when poked with a fork. Serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure the Brussels sprouts cook evenly.
If you want softer Brussels sprouts, cook them at 325°F for 7-10 minutes, then increase the temperature to 350°F for a final crisping step.
For extra cheesy flavor, add more Parmesan cheese halfway through the cooking process.
Every air fryer is different, so be sure to monitor the cooking process to prevent overcooking or burning.
