AIR FRYER BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Sweet and tart balsamic vinegar pairs well with the bitterness of Brussels sprouts; the bacon adds a smokey flavor. After 10 minutes, there's still some bite to the sprouts; add a few more minutes for a softer texture, if desired.

AIR-FRYER BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH GARLIC, BALSAMIC AND SOY



Air-Fryer Brussels Sprouts With Garlic, Balsamic and Soy image

Brussels sprouts are quite possibly the best vegetable you can make in an air fryer; the leaves turn brittle and delightfully crunchy. Here they are paired with slivers of garlic, which turn into pungent golden chips as they fry. Then the whole thing is dressed with a mix of balsamic vinegar that's been simmered until thickened, then seasoned with lime juice for freshness and soy sauce for complexity. Serve this as a side dish, or as snack with drinks; just make sure to have plenty of napkins on hand.

Categories     vegetables, appetizer, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved through the stems (cut larger ones in quarters)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • Heat air fryer to 400 degrees, if preheating is necessary.
  • Place brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket; drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and the salt. Fry for 15 minutes, shaking basket or stirring the sprouts halfway through.
  • Sprinkle sprouts with garlic. Continue to fry until the garlic is golden brown, another 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a simmer. Continue to simmer until thickened and starting to look syrupy, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning, 2 to 3 minutes. (Keep a close eye on it; it will go from reduced to burned very quickly.) Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons oil, the lime juice and the soy sauce.
  • Transfer brussels sprouts to a serving platter and drizzle with balsamic dressing. Squeeze more lime juice on top to taste.

AIR FRYER BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts image

The best crispy air fryer Brussels sprouts! Perfect for fast healthy sides. You can customize with garlic, Parmesan, maple syrup or balsamic.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Side Dish

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound Brussels sprouts
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 cloves garlic (thinly sliced (optional but delish!))
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze or reduced balsamic vinegar
Drizzle pomegranate molasses
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Trim off the ends of the Brussel sprouts and remove any brown outer leaves. Cut them in half from stem to end. If any are very large, cut them into quarters from stem to end so that all the pieces are fairly similar in size and cook evenly.
  • OPTIONAL-This step makes sure the Brussels sprouts a little more tender in the middle; that said, if you don't mind a firmer sprout, you can skip it-I like my Brussels sprouts firm/tender inside and crispy outside, so I typically skip it-Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl and cover with warm tap water. Let sit 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees, according to the manufacturer's instructions (for my air fryer, that's 3 minutes of preheating).
  • Drain the Brussels sprouts and with a towel, lightly pat dry. Wipe out the bowl you used for soaking, then add the Brussels sprouts back to it (if you didn't soak the sprouts, simply place them in a large mixing bowl). Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly, then add them to your fryer basket.
  • Cook the sprouts for 5 minutes, then slide out the basket and shake it to toss the Brussels sprouts to promote even cooking. Cook 5 additional minutes, then slide out the basket again. The Brussels sprouts should look like they are getting nice and crispy and are almost done (if not, let them cook a minute or so longer). Add the garlic cloves and toss to coat once more. Cook 2 to 4 additional minutes, checking and shaking the basket often, until the Brussels sprouts are deeply crisp.
  • If adding toppings, transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl (or wipe out the mixing bowl you previously used) and stir in any desired toppings. Enjoy hot.
