I make this recipe in my Cosori air fryer. Depending on your air fryer model, size and wattages, cook time may need to be adjusted 1-2 extra minutes.
VARIATIONS
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding some minced garlic and Parmesan cheese to the mix before cooking. They also make a delicious snack when served with a dipping sauce such as ranch dressing or honey mustard.
- There are so many flavor combinations! Drizzle cooked sprouts with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, or maple syrup, then toss with bacon pieces.
- You can also enjoy them cold, making them the perfect addition to salads or snack plates.
EXPERT TIPS
- If you have larger sprouts, you may need to add a few minutes extra time
- If you don't have a large basket or air fryer tray, work in batches so you don't block the air circulation by overfilling.
- Make with air fryer chicken wings or air fryer steak, and divide into servings for an easy meal prep for high protein healthy meals.

FAQS
Absolutely! Air fryer frozen brussels sprouts are a great source of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, making them the perfect healthy side dish or snack.
The best way to tell if they’re cooked is by checking the texture. The outside should be slightly crispy and lightly browned while the inside is tender. If you’re still not sure, pierce them with a fork and check for doneness.

I have gone through this several times and I don't see the temperature listed! I just make them at 400. Did I miss it or did you leave it out?
