Ingredients
1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts
1.5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
0.5 teaspoon sea salt
0.25 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly under cold water.
Trim the woody ends off each sprout and remove any yellowing outer leaves.
Slice larger sprouts in half vertically for uniform cooking.
Toss the sprouts in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes.
Arrange the seasoned sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning.
Notes
Ensure the sprouts are in a single layer to allow maximum airflow for the crispest texture. Adjust seasoning to taste after cooking if desired.
