TIPS
If you are cooking more than 1 pound (450 grams) of Brussels sprouts, we would advice to do so in batches.
Brussels sprouts burn easily, so check them at the 10 minute mark.
Air fry them for 10-12 minutes if you like them tender crisp. Go for 15 minutes if you want them softer and more charred.
Shake the basket: if you use a basket air fryer, it is recommended to shake it every every 3 minutes to allow the veggies to cook evenly.
Don't leave them in the air fryer basket once cooked, the trapped steam will make them soggy.
MAKE AHEAD & STORAGE
Make ahead: to get ahead in the kitchen, you can prep the dressing you can, clean and cut the sprouts a day before, and keep them in the fridge in an airtight container.
Refrigerator: keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
Reheat: if with dressing, reheat them in the microwave for 2 minutes. If without dressing, you can reheat them in the oven, air-fryer, or microwave.
Freezer: this recipe is not suitable for freezing.
