Ingredients
For the Brussels Sprouts
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- ½ tsp salt to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the Maple Sriracha Glaze
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp sriracha adjust to heat preference
- 1 tsp soy sauce or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 380 ℉ and prepare sprouts
- Toss halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper
- Arrange in air fryer basket in a single layer, and work in batches if needed
- Air-fry for 7-10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until sprouts are very crispy and browned on the edges and tender in the center when pierced with a fork
- Meanwhile, whisk together maple syrup, sriracha, and soy sauce in small bowl
- When Brussels sprouts are done, toss them immediately with glaze until coated
Notes
- Store leftover sprouts in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days (freezing isn’t recommended since they’ll get mushy).
- Reheat in the air fryer at 350 ℉ for 3-4 minutes to restore crispiness.
- Use medium-sized sprouts for more even cooking.
- After washing, dry the sprouts thoroughly to prevent sogginess.
- Halving the sprouts produces crispier edges.
- Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Serve immediately after tossing with the glaze to maintain the crispy texture.
