Getting Started
- Always preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes before adding sprouts. This ensures immediate crisping upon contact and prevents steaming.
- Cook brussels sprouts in a single layer, in batches if necessary. Overcrowding lowers the temperature and steams the vegetables instead of crisping them.
- A light coating of oil (1-2 teaspoons per pound) is sufficient. Toss sprouts thoroughly to distribute evenly; this aids browning and seasoning adherence.
- Shake the air fryer basket every 6-8 minutes, or flip individual sprouts, to promote even cooking and browning on all sides. Total cook time is typically 15-20 minutes at 375°F (190°C) for tender-crisp results.
