Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Brussels Sprouts
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive oil or Avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

Optional:

  • 2 Tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice to taste freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon Balsamic glaze to drizzle. Learn how to make a homemade balsamic glaze reduction.

Instructions
 

  • Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim them from dirty or yellowed outer leaves. Cut each piece in half lengthwise. Do not cut the core off (as the core holds the leaves in place) If you cut off the core, the Brussels sprouts leaves may fall apart.
  • In a large bowl combine Brussels sprouts pieces, olive oil, salt, and seasoning, and mix well to combine.
    Preheat the air fryer to 380 ° degrees F.
  • Transfer seasoned Brussels sprouts onto air fryer tray or basket and cook them for 10-12 minutes, shaking occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are crispy and golden.
  • Transfer to a serving platter and toss with Parmesan cheese and lemon zest and Balsamic glaze. Enjoy!

Notes

Seasoning Variations
You can experiment with different spices or herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or smoked paprika, for different flavor profiles. Add some parmesan cheese or balsamic vinegar to elevate the taste. I love to use Homemade Balsamic Glaze (reduction).
Add ½ a tablespoon of lemon zest or drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Toss perfectly crisp, golden-brown sprouts with savory, salty bacon pieces. Or better yet, make Bacon wrapped Brussels Sprouts.
For sweetened air fryer Brussels sprouts, use coconut oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, Chinese Five Spice, or any other spice you like, such as nutmeg, or cardamom. Or drizzle the sprouts with the honey glaze or any other sweet and sticky glaze of choice.
