Notes
STORAGE- Store cooled Brussel Sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
REHEAT- While this vegetable side dish is best served immediately after cooking, it can be reheated for later meals.To reheat, preheat the air fryer to 350 - 400 F (depending on how quickly your air fryer cooks). Drizzle the sprouts with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Cook the sprouts for 3 - 4 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.
TIPS
Line the air fryerwith a square or circle of parchment paper for easy clean-up. The paper also catches all of the little bits of garlic and Brussel Sprouts.
For easy coating, transfer the sprouts, oil, cheese, and seasoning to a zip-top bag. Shake until coated.
Every air fryer is different, meaning some heat faster {and hotter} than others. For this reason, you may need to adjust cooking time and temperature.
