Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
- 2 tbsp hot honey
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Trim and halve Brussels sprouts. Pat dry — dry sprouts crisp better.
- Toss sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange cut-side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd — cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry at 375°F / 190°C for 12–16 minutes, shaking the basket 2–3 times, until outer leaves are charred and sprouts are tender.
- Transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with hot honey and lemon juice, toss with Parmesan if using, and serve immediately.
Chef's Notes
Chef's Notes: The hot honey goes on AFTER cooking — if you add it during, the sugar will burn. For extra char, place some sprouts cut-side down and don't shake for the first 6 minutes. Contains: Milk (if using Parmesan).
