Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400° F. *If desired, preset the timer to 15 minutes as well
  • Toss the frozen Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and parmesan cheese. 
  • Once the air fryer has been preheated, transfer the seasoned and oiled Brussels sprouts to the air fryer basket. Make sure to spread them out evenly. Set the timer for 15 minutes, if not already done so. Turn the Brussels sprouts halfway through cooking. 
  • In the last few minutes of cooking, add the garlic slices. Continue cooking until browned. *Keep a close eye, this process goes quick!
  • Transfer crispy Brussels sprouts to the desired serving dish.
  • Squeeze the juice of ¼ lemon over them and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. If desired, sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese.

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 fryer with 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.
