  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for topping optional

Notes

  • Recipe time and temperature is based on a cold air fryer. If cooking in multiple batches, be sure to check on the remaining batches early, as they may cook more quickly.
  • Remember, air fryer brands vary, so you may have to adjust the cook time to your specific air fryer model.
  • Try using different oils like grapeseed, canola, vegetable, or coconut oil.
  • Swap out Parmesan cheese for cheddar or feta, if desired.
  • Experiment with your favorite seasonings. You can really get creative with Brussels sprouts recipes like this one!
  • Some air fryers are equipped with a turn reminder, but if yours doesn’t have that feature, set a timer to remind you to turn or shake the food halfway through the cooking process.
