Ingredients
- 1 lb. brussels sprouts
- 1 T. sesame oil
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 t. kosher salt
- freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 375°
- Rinse brussel sprouts and trim off ends and any brownish leaves.
- Cut in quarters, if leaves fall off, keep them, they taste great.
- Place brussel sprouts in a medium bowl. Add sesame oil and combine well.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. I tend to add quite a bit of salt as I like them crispy and salty.
- Place in air fryer basket ( I have the Breville Smart Oven Air - so I can do them all at once, you may have to do yours in batches) and fry for about 10 minutes. Stir them at about 5 minutes. After 10 minutes, check to see if they are done. If not, continue to air fry for a few more minutes. Because these are cut into quarters, they tend to fry fairly quickly. See notes at bottom.
- Serve hot!
Notes
Air fryer times are all different depending on models and brands. Check on the brussel sprouts frequently if this is your first time making them. I love my Breville Smart Oven Air because the air frying baskets are large and you can do so much in the oven besides frying.
These may not get as crispy as other recipes for air fried foods as I'm trying to keep it on the healthy side by not using as much oil as other recipes do.
