Ingredients
- 8 pieces fresh Brussels sprouts (255 grams, 9 ounces)
- 1.5 tablespoons olive oil plus oil spray
- ¾ tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon granulated garlic
Instructions
- Wash, pat dry, and trim Brussels sprouts then cut in half.
- On a plate, place Brussels sprouts cut side up, then lightly brush with oil and balsamic vinegar. Let it sit for 15 minutes for a quick marinate.
- Transfer marinated Brussels sprouts, cut side down, onto the Air Fryer tray. Lightly brush each Brussels sprout with oil and balsamic vinegar, then season with salt, black pepper, and garlic.
- Slowly insert the Air Fryer tray into the middle cooking chamber, near the rotisserie catch in a pre-heated Air Fryer oven.
- Air Fry at 375°F (191°C) and set for 14 minutes.
- If the Air Fryer used has a basket, place the marinated Brussels sprouts into the basket and follow accordingly.
- After 5 minutes or before the outer leaves are burnt, remove the Air Fryer tray and spray the Brussels sprouts with oil. Then flip Brussels sprouts and lightly brush with oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper, then return the Air Fryer tray to the middle cooking chamber.
- Continue to Air Fry seasoned Brussels sprouts for the remaining minutes or until crisp tender.
- Remove from the Air Fryer and transfer to a serving plate.
Notes
This Air Fryer recipe uses an Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven. Not all Air Fryers cook the same way. It’s best to keep watch during your initial tests after purchasing.
TIPS:
Wash with cold water and pat dry the Brussels sprouts.
Slightly trim the bottom part of the Brussels sprouts but avoid trimming in excess to avoid the leaves from flying inside the Air Fryer.
It’s best to use a pastry brush to evenly coat the Brussels sprouts with oil and balsamic vinegar instead of pouring into a few pieces.
The Air Fryer heats up the long it is used, and it’s best to keep watch at the last 5 minutes of air frying to avoid burning the leaves.
