I have used only 6 main ingredients for this best air fryer brussels sprouts. Its so easy and quick and can be made in short notice.

Ingredients notes

Brussels sprouts – I used fresh whole brussels sprouts. You can get fresh sliced as well and both works well.

Extra virgin olive oil – avocado oil or olive oil also works equally great in this recipe.

Balsamic vinegar – make sure to use balsamic vinegar and not balsamic glaze. The slight tang and the salty taste enhance the flavors and makes this dish attractive and tasty.

Tajin – it’s a spicy tangy seasoning that I used here for an extra punch of flavors.

How to make Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts

Firstly, I rinsed them and apt dried each of the vegetable. Then, I trimmed its edges and sliced them into two halves.

Secondly, in a bowl, I combined brussels sprouts with extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar.

Next, I tossed it well so that each half of brussels sprout is covered with the seasonings.

Thereafter, I spooned them out in the air fryer basket and spread them in a single layer.

Afterwards, I attached the basket to the main machine and turned it on at 350 degree for 8 minutes.

Once done, I turned it off and detached the basket.

Then, I served them in a serving dish and sprinkled tajin over it.
