Ingredients Needed
Brussels sprouts: It is the main ingredient of this dish. It is rich in nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, laying the foundation for the dish.
Olive oil: It is used to add flavor to Brussels sprouts, while making the surface crisper during frying and avoiding excessive greasiness.
Black pepper: It gives Brussels sprouts a unique spicy flavor and enriches the taste.
Salt: It is used for seasoning, adjusting the right saltiness to highlight the natural flavor of Brussels sprouts.
Indispensable Appliances
The right appliances are key to making delicious air-fried Brussels sprouts. Here is a list of essential equipment for this dish:
Air fryer: This is the key piece of equipment that uses hot air circulation technology to ensure that the Brussels sprouts are evenly cooked and have a golden and slightly charred crust. The unique design of the air fryer can simulate the flavor of deep-frying while reducing the fat.
Metal tongs or bamboo skewers: When placing the seasoned Brussels sprouts into the air fryer basket and flipping them over, using metal tongs or bamboo skewers can protect your fingers from being burned and ensure that the Brussels sprouts are evenly distributed and flipped smoothly, keeping their shape. With these utensils, you can easily prepare tempting air-fried Brussels sprouts.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Not thoroughly cleaning the roots and old leaves: The roots are tough and the old leaves are not good. If they are not completely removed, it will affect the flavor of the whole dish.
Improper cutting: If the Brussels sprouts are cut in different sizes, the smaller pieces may be too dry and the larger pieces may not be fully cooked during air frying.
Missing key seasonings: For example, olive oil not only adds flavor but also makes the fried Brussels sprouts more moist. Skipping this step will greatly affect the taste and texture of the dish.
Improper temperature regulation: Too high a temperature can easily cause the Brussels sprouts to burn on the outside and remain undercooked on the inside; too low a temperature will not form the ideal golden and crispy crust and may cause the Brussels sprouts to be too soft. The different stage temperature settings of 200 degrees and 150 degrees must be strictly adhered to and cannot be changed at will.
Neglecting to flip over: If you do not flip the Brussels sprouts during the frying process, the color and taste of the two sides will be significantly different. One side may be golden and charred, while the other side may still be pale and soft.

Recipe Variations
With honey mustard: Drizzle or dip honey mustard over fried Brussels sprouts. The sweetness of honey combined with the slight spiciness of mustard gives cabbage its unique flavor, and the sweet and spicy texture makes cabbage more attractive.
Cheese baked version: Sprinkle some chopped cheese (such as mozzarella) over the half-fried Brussels sprouts and continue frying. The cheese melts in the heat, forming a rich cheese layer that wraps around the cabbage, giving it a rich creamy flavor and an interesting, brushed texture.
Marinade variations: To season, add some lemon juice and herbs (such as rosemary, thyme). The acidity of the lemon juice adds freshness to the cabbage, while the herbs give it a unique aroma, giving it a more complex flavor after frying.
ncrease the spiciness: If you like spicy food, you can add chili powder or chili powder in addition to the basic salt and black pepper. This will increase the spiciness of the Brussels sprouts and make them more stimulating to eat, which is suitable for those who like spicy food.
