- Cook the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- If using balsamic vinegar, drizzle over the sprouts when done cooking and toss gently.
- For added flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the sprouts during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Serving
- Carefully remove the Brussels sprouts from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
Notes
For crispy sprouts, dry them thoroughly after washing and avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
