Trim the bottom of the brussel sprouts, and cut them in half for medium or quarters for larger sprouts.
2 cups brussels sprouts
If you prefer softer brussel sprouts, soak trimmed sprouts in room temperature water for 10-15 minutes. Drain, and then follow the steps below.
Preheat air fryer to 370F degrees F for 2 minutes.
Toss the sprouts in a bowl with olive oil and add to the air fryer.
1 tbsp olive oil
Cook at 370F for 9 minutes (or to your desired level of crispy), shaking the basket at 5 minutes.
Salt finished sprouts to taste.
1/4 tsp sea salt
Notes
Every person prefers their veggies roasted to a specific level. Use common sense and check on your brussels during the cooking process to see what works best for you.
You can cut and prep the sprouts days ahead of time. Slice, wash, and store uncooked sprouts in an air-tight container for up to three days.
Oven-Roasting Instructions
Preheat oven to 450F degrees and place a rack on the lowest setting.
Combine brussels and olive oil in a bowl. Toss to coat.
Dump the bowl onto a rimmed baking sheet and spread the veggies around to give them space. Now, be annoyingly anal-retentive and make sure they are all cut side down on the pan. Annoying, but this is going to give you the best sear possible!
Bake for 12 minutes. Stir, and bake for another 3-8 minutes depending on your desired level of crisp (I do 6 minutes).
Make sure the oven is fully preheated before you add the sprouts. The high heat helps to crisp them up without making them soggy. Cook on the bottom rack.
