Air Fried Brussel Sprouts

This oh-so-simple Air Fried Brussel Sprouts recipe produces  sweet, nutty, tender and crispy bits of vegetable goodness. Made with few ingredients and ready in 15 minutes, it is the prefect side dish. 

For this recipe I bought cut in half Brussel sprouts for quicker cooking and the extra bonus is you end up with more of those delicious crispy edges. If you can’t find cut in half Brussel sprouts cut them in half yourself, you’ll be happy you did, not only will they cook quicker, but there’s more places for the delicious mustard sauce to creep into.

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it my Toaster oven/ Air fryer is the most used small appliance in my kitchen and for good reason. It’s quick, easy, economical and a healthier option than deep frying.

What Are  Air Fried Brussel Sprouts

These tasty Air fried  Brussel sprouts are so much fun, they look like baby cabbage heads. In fact they are in the family as other crucifers along with broccoli and cauliflower.

While brussel sprouts can be fairly bitter to the taste bud, especially when eaten raw, they can have nutty and sweet taste when air fried

or roasted!!

They are available year round, but usually  are at their peak flavor in the fall and winter, making them the prefect Holiday side dish.
