Now, these are NOT your Grandma’s Brussels Sprouts. You may think you HATE Brussels sprouts, but trust me, you are WRONG! You need to either roast or Air fry. Brussels sprouts to make them crispy and delicious. Boiled soggy Brussels are no one’s friend, and if that is the way you have tried them, you need to try them cooked correctly ASAP.

How to make Fryer Crispy Parmesan Brussels Sprouts:

  • While those are cooking, get 1/4 cup of bread crumbs and 1/4 cut parmesan cheese (I like to use freshly grated, but you can use pre-grated as well, just NOT the sprinkle type of parmesan). Once the timer beeps, open the air fryer and carefully mix the Brussels sprouts around.

Are Brussels sprouts healthy or good for me?

**see recipe card for specific recipe nutritional information**

Yes!!! Brussels Sprouts are one of the healthiest foods you can consume, and they have very little calories for the amount of nutrients they provide!

  • They are one of the better green vegetable sources of protein, and just one serving meets the daily vitamin C and vitamin K requirements. One cup provides:
    • 195% of vitamin K, 125% of vitamin C, and 10 percent or more of vitamin A, vitamin B-6, folate, potassium, and manganese
  • There are many potential health benefits associated with Brussels sprouts, including eye and bone protection. 
  • Many studies have suggested that increasing consumption of Brussels sprouts and similar cruciferous vegetables can decrease the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and overall mortality.
  • Brussels sprouts should not be overcooked as this reduces nutrient levels.

What type of Air Fryer should I use for Crispy Parmesan Brussels Sprouts?

I suggest using a larger air fryer, and making sure you can spread the Brussels Sprouts in an even layer. There are many Air Fryers to choose from, but I love my OMORC Air Fryer XL, 5.8QT Air fryer! Here are some great options:

  • Air Fryer XL Touchscreen by Cozyna (5.7QT) is a large air fryer that looks to cook evenly!
  • OMORC Air Fryer XL, 5.8QT Air fryer Oven Oilless Cooker with Hot Air Circulation Tech for Fast Healthier Food
  • Tidylife Air Fryer XL, 1700W 5.8 QT 8-in-1 Digital Touch Screen Oilless Air Fryer
  • GoWISE USA 5.8-Quarts 8-in-1 Electric Air Fryer – this one includes a recipe book with over 50 recipes!! 

Air Fryer Crispy Parmesan Brussels Sprouts make the perfect side dish, or even meal in my case! Taking only TEN minutes to make, they’re super quick, easy, and majorly delicious! Serve these alongside a One Skillet Hamburger Casserole for a balanced meal!

    The flavor was great but the texture was a little off…there were dry but very chewy and hard to eat, almost seemed somewhat raw when bitten into. Not sure what happened…cooked exactly as recipe said.

      I haven’t tried that an honestly I am not a fan of frozen sprouts as they always end up soggy, but you are welcome to give it a go! Let me know how it turns out.

    This is a good recipe, but the brussel sprouts need to be cooked at least twice as long. If you are using small ones it might turn out ok. They weren’t cooked enough.

    Does anyone know if I can use the sprinkle kind of Parmesan? I don’t have shreds and I know the recipe specifically says not to, but I wonder what would happen if I did?

      Julia- you can use sprinkle cheese if need be, the taste will be different but should still be yummy 🙂
