INSTRUCTION:

1. Perfectly dries the Brussels sprouts with a paper towel, after cleaning and trimming.
2. Slice each in half, or quarter them if they are particularly big.
3. Toss the sprouts in a big bowl with the red pepper flakes, butter, garlic, salt, pepper, and almost three-quarters of the Parmesan.
4. Air fried at four hundred degrees F for fifteen to twenty minutes, tossing occasionally, till they cooked to the desired level of tenderness and crispiness.
5. The air fryer should not be overcrowded.
6. Add any remaining butter back to the bowl and top with the remaining Parmesan. Adjust the spice level and include more spices.

TIPS:

• Assure that these Brussels sprouts dries completely before we put them into the basket to cook. I prefer to lay them out on a tea towel and use another towel to pat dry after washing them. They will become soft if there is too much moisture present.
• Mix them well with oil or melted butter this keeps them from adhering to the air fryer rack and also gives them an extra taste. Mix the Brussels sprouts in the intervals at the time of cooking to get them perfectly crispy.
• When there are too many Brussels sprouts, they tend to steam instead of crisp up because of their relatively high moisture content So, do not add too many Brussels sprouts in the air fryer. We should have to work in shifts if our basket is small.
• The best time to consume air-fried Brussels sprouts is while they are still crisp. They get slightly soft if they get sat. You will enjoy the Brussels sprouts whether they are crispy or not because of their garlic and parmesan taste.

What’s causing my Brussels sprouts to not crisp up?

How should leftover Brussels sprouts from an air fryer be stored?

• Keep the remaining Brussels sprouts in the sealed box in the fridge for around three days. They may be reheated for two to three minutes at three-fifty degrees F in an air fryer.
