Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts is a simple and easy to make side dish. Making and eating your brussels has never been easier!
Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts
Growing up, I don’t ever remember eating brussel sprouts. I am not sure if we ever had them.
It wasn’t until I got married and we started eating more vegetables and fruits that I discovered that I loved them!
Now, they do come with a funky smell when you cook them. Have you ever noticed this?
I especially notice after I walk out of the house and back in! Kinda like broccoli!
We used our air fryer for the preparation of these brussel sprouts! I mean, we did make some Air Fryer Baked Potato and some Air Fryer Tofu.
So why not, Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts?! 🙂
I even made you a video to show you how easy this is…check this out
How long do you Air Fry Brussel Sprouts?
You can cook these little guys anywhere between 8 and 12 minutes. I prefer mine with a little crunch in them.

History Time
Brussel sprouts are actually part of the cabbage family. If you really look closely they do resemble the head of a cabbage, don’t they?
Brussel sprouts in general have a bad reputation. Society tells us that not too many kids like their brussel sprouts. I know that when I cook them, they do stink up my kitchen!
Brussel sprouts can have a very strong taste, but that is mostly if they are over cooked.
- 3 c halved brussel sprouts
- 1 T olive oil
- 1/4 t salt
- 1/4 t pepper
-
Toss brussel sprouts with olive and salt/pepper.
-
Place into air fryer basket.
-

I am already a fan of Brussels sprouts. Your recipe sounds super tasty! I keep hearing such great things about air fryers.
I have never liked Brussel Sprouts, but my wife loves them. Maybe I’ve never had them prepared correctly – this looks like a healthier option.
This looks so yummy! I need to get an air fryer ASAP. I would love to try these.
I love brussel sprouts to begin with, but boiling them can lose a lot of flavor. This looks like a totally delicious new way to eat these.
Brussels sprouts are one of my top favorite. I am gonna have to try them like this.
This recipe sounds incredible and boy do we love Brussel Sprouts! Definitely going to give this recipe a try.
They turned out great!
Thank you!
Yay, you are so welcome!
What about doing them from frozen?
Great question, I have not tried yet! I”ll add it to my list to try!
Wow! I have been wanting an air fryer for forever. I never knew there was so much you could make with it. This looks delicious.
Wow! This looks so delicious and an easy to cook recipe. I will definitely try to make this for my family and I am sure they will like it.
This might be the only way I eat them! I love using a pressure cooker.
These sound yummy! My brother has gotten me to start eating Brussel sprouts after years of swearing I didn’t like them. Now I’m trying them in so many different recipes 🙂
I am currently expecting and reading through the post made me hungry! Now, I will have to create a recipe with sprouts.
This makes me wish I had an air fryer. I also like my brussels sprout with a little bit of crisp to them, which is why I usually leave in the oven a little longer than I probably should.
This looks amazing. Love it. Might try this soon!
