Why Should You Make Air Fryer Buttered Brussels Sprout?
Crispier Sprouts: An air fryer cooks circulating heat around the food, quickly producing crispy results.
An Alternative to Deep-Fried: Air fryers are fantastic for preparing healthier alternatives to deep-fried veggies.
Fastest Time: The air fryer has an advantage over a convection oven in that it heats up quickly—in my case, in 3-4 minutes.
Nutritious: These crispy air fryer Brussels sprouts are delicious and nutritious. Fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants abound in Brussels sprouts.
How to Make Brussels Sprouts Crispy from The Outside and Soft from The Inside?
When we soak the brussels sprouts in water for 10 minutes before air frying, they tenderize, making the middles softer. After that, when you air fry the sprouts, they will crisp on the outside and tenderize on the inside. They won’t be soggy, don’t worry!
Shaking the basket a few times throughout the cooking process will keep the air circulating and ensure that your Brussels sprouts crisp evenly.
You don’t need to soak the Brussels sprouts before cooking if, like me, you don’t mind a little crunch to your sprouts.
Can You Store Air Fried Brussels Sprouts?
In the Refrigerator: In an airtight container, you can refrigerate brussels sprouts for up to 4 days. Reheat leftovers in the oven or the air fryer at 350 degrees F on a baking sheet.
I won’t suggest freezing the sprouts in the Freezer because they will become mushy once thawed. Still, if you have any leftovers, you may store them for up to 3 months in an airtight freezer-safe storage container. Allow defrosting in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
