Certainly! Garlic Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts in the air fryer are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for some heat)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to preheat.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts:
- Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves.
- Season the Brussels Sprouts:
- In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated.
- Air Fry the Brussels Sprouts:
- Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Air fry the Brussels sprouts at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket or tossing the Brussels sprouts halfway through the cooking time. Cook until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Add Parmesan Cheese:
- About 5 minutes before the Brussels sprouts are done, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over them. This allows the cheese to melt and become crispy.
- Serve:
- Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked to your liking and the Parmesan is melted and crispy, remove them from the air fryer.
- Optional: Garnish with Red Pepper Flakes:
- If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the roasted Brussels sprouts before serving.
- Serve Warm:
- Serve the Garlic Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts immediately while they are hot and crispy.
This dish makes a fantastic side for various meals. Adjust the seasonings and cooking time according to your taste and the specific model of your air fryer. Enjoy!
Balsamic Glaze Drizzle:
- To add a sweet and tangy element, consider drizzling a balsamic glaze over the roasted Brussels sprouts before serving. You can either make your own balsamic glaze by simmering balsamic vinegar until it thickens, or you can buy a pre-made version.
Instructions for Balsamic Glaze Drizzle:
- Once the Brussels sprouts are done cooking, transfer them to a serving dish.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the roasted Brussels sprouts.
- Toss gently to ensure the glaze coats the sprouts evenly.
- This addition adds a delightful contrast to the savory and cheesy flavors.
