Ingredients

350 g Brussels sprouts halved
1.5 tablespoons olive oil
1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese grated
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper ground or cracked

Instructions

Prepare the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the ends and halving them. Rinse them thoroughly in a colander then soak in water for 10 minutes. Remove and shake off any excess water.
Add the olive oil and toss to coat the brussel sprouts evenly. Then, add the garlic powder, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the air fryer tray, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook in the air fryer for 8 minutes at 180°C (350°F). Then, toss and continue cooking for another 8 minutes. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Notes

Why did my Brussels sprouts burn in the air fryer?

Brussels sprouts can burn in the air fryer due to high temperatures or overcrowding. To prevent burning, try adjusting the air fryer temperature, as each machine can behave differently. Remember to shake the basket halfway through cooking and ensure the sprouts are cooked for the right amount of time.

Why did my Brussels sprouts not cook in the middle?

Don't skip soaking the Brussels sprouts as this helps cook them evenly!
