Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup, grated)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Brussels sprouts (1 pound, trimmed and halved)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the Brussels sprouts, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the sprouts are well coated.
  3. Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
  4. Air fry for about 12-15 minutes, giving the basket a good shake halfway through to promote even browning.
  5. Once the Brussels sprouts are crispy and golden brown, remove them from the air fryer.
  6. While still hot, sprinkle the Brussels sprouts with the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix gently to ensure all the Brussels sprouts get a good coating of cheese.
  7. Serve immediately as a side dish or a nutritious snack.
