This Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts recipe delivers crispy, caramelized Brussels sprouts with a perfect balance of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Marinated and air-fried to golden perfection, they make a quick and delicious side dish bursting with fresh thyme aroma.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved

Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (use less if using dried thyme)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure an even cooking temperature for crispy Brussels sprouts.
  2. Prepare the Marinade. In a medium bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Marinate the Brussels Sprouts. Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the marinade and toss well until they are evenly coated with the mixture, allowing the flavors to soak in.
  4. Cook in Air Fryer. Place the marinated Brussels sprouts into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even roasting and achieve a crisp, caramelized texture.
  5. Garnish and Serve. Once cooked, sprinkle fresh thyme over the hot Brussels sprouts and serve immediately for a fragrant and flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • Halve the Brussels sprouts evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to prevent burning and promote even crisping.
  • Adjust the amount of thyme based on your preference; dried thyme can be used but reduce quantity.
  • Serve immediately for best texture; leftover Brussels sprouts may lose crispness.
  • For extra crispiness, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket.
