A quick and easy recipe for crispy, garlicky Brussels sprouts with parmesan made in the air fryer, perfect as a healthy snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 grams) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
  • 1/4 cup (25 grams) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: squeeze of lemon juice after cooking

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 pound (450 grams) of Brussels sprouts under cold water. Trim off the stem ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
  4. Place the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, cut side down if possible. Cook for 7 minutes, then shake the basket or flip the sprouts. Cook for another 5-8 minutes until golden and crispy.
  5. Remove the basket and sprinkle 1/4 cup (25 grams) of freshly grated Parmesan evenly over the sprouts. Return to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2 minutes to melt the cheese.
  6. Transfer the sprouts to a serving bowl. Optionally, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure crispiness. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Preheat the air fryer to avoid soggy sprouts. If garlic browns too fast, reduce temperature by 10 degrees or toss gently. For dairy-free, substitute parmesan with nutritional yeast. Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to regain crispiness.
