How to Make Brussels Sprouts In an Air Fryer

You'll find a detailed ingredient list and step-by-step instructions in the recipe below, but let's go over the basics:

How to Season Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts

These flavorful air-fried Brussels sprouts are seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Of course, you can get creative — add whatever spices you like!

How to Make Air-Fried Brussels Sprouts

Season the Brussels sprouts, spread them evenly in the air fryer basket, and cook for about 15 minutes. That’s all there is to it! Find the full, step-by-step recipe below with detailed instructions.

Cook’s Note

I've got a 10-quart fryer. If the sprouts look crowded in your basket, make yours in two batches, putting the first cooked batch in a 170 degree F (75 degree C) oven to stay warm while you cook the second.

How Long to Cook Brussels Sprouts In the Air Fryer

Brussels sprouts should be perfectly cooked and crispy after about 15 minutes in an air fryer heated to 390 degrees. Don’t forget to shake the basket halfway through cooking!
