Why use an air fryer?
What is an air fryer?
An air fryer is like a mini oven that sits on your countertop.
It pushes hot air down onto the food and all around it, and by doing so, it imitates deep frying.
The great thing is that food is usually more healthy as you need less oil.
When cooking for a large group, an air fryer acts like a second oven, and it cooks in less time with less mess – it is SO useful!

Equipment
- Air fryer liners (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed with the outer leaves removed
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- ¼ cup vegetarian Parmesan cheese finely grated
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F/190°C (see your air fryer manufacturer's instructions).
- Tip: For really tender inside Brussels sprouts, soak in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain the water and pat them dry.
- Place your brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl, add extra virgin olive oil, maple syrup, vegetarian parmesan cheese, kosher salt, ground black pepper, and, using your hands, toss to coat the Brussels sprouts.1 pound Brussels sprouts, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 2 teaspoons maple syrup, ¼ cup vegetarian Parmesan cheese, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Now, add the Brussels sprouts to your air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes, removing the basket halfway to shake it to ensure they cook evenly. Remove the basket, shake, and then cook for a further 1 – 3 minutes, so that the Brussels sprouts are nice and crispy. Serve immediately in a bowl adding a sprinkling of vegetarian parmesan cheese. Enjoy your delicious air fryer Brussels sprouts!
Notes
- Size matters:
If your Brussels sprouts are smaller, they may cook more quickly, if they are larger, they may need longer, keep an eye on them and adjust the timings accordingly. - Want them bite-sized?
Cut your Brussels sprouts in half before air frying them. - Play with the flavors!
Try a little fresh garlic or garlic powder, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to give a little heat, or add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or a balsamic vinegar glaze. - Eat them cold:
Any leftovers get eaten straight from the fridge! - Store them:
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, we don’t recommend freezing them as they turn a little mushy.
