Brussels sprouts turned deeply caramelized and shatteringly crisp in the air fryer, with just enough honey to sweeten their edges. One basket, five minutes of prep, and they disappear faster than you can plate them.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Brussels sprouts, roots trimmed and halved lengthwise
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp honey
- neutral oil spray, for finishing
Instructions
- Slice the tough stem end off each Brussels sprout, then cut each one in half from top to root so you get two flat faces. Pile them into a large bowl.
- Pour over the oil, then add the salt, pepper, garlic powder and honey. Toss with your hands until every sprout is glossy and evenly coated — the honey wants a little encouragement to spread around.
- Arrange the sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket, cut sides down where you can. Pick out and discard any loose leaves floating around; they'll scorch before the sprouts are done.
- Air fry at 400°F for 12–14 minutes, until the cut faces are browning and the outer layers look papery.
- Shake the basket well to redistribute, mist the sprouts with a light coating of oil spray, and air fry again at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, until dark at the edges and audibly crisp. Serve straight away while the crunch is at its peak.
Chef's tips
- Work in two batches if your basket is small — sprouts packed in too tightly will steam rather than crisp, and you'll lose the whole point.
- Halving the sprouts through the root keeps the leaves attached; wedge-cutting them lets everything fall apart and burn.
- Honey scorches quickly, so if your air fryer runs hot, check at the 10-minute mark on the first stretch and shake early.
- Leftovers go soft in the fridge. Bring them back with 3 minutes at 400°F, no extra oil needed.
