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:

**scroll all the way down for the full printable recipe and ingredient list**

• Prep the Brussels sprouts; chop off the little stem at the bottom, then cut them in half.

• Using a medium or large bowl, place the halved Brussels sprouts into the bowl, then add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper and toss them around to coat.

• Using an Air Fryer (I looooove my Power Air Fryer XL 5.3qt, but you can use any brand), spread the Brussels sprouts into the basket, then close and turn the air fryer to 400 degrees and set to 5 minutes.

• 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.

• Spread them back in an even layer, then sprinkle the breadcrumbs and cheese over the tops. Close the Air Fryer and set for 5 more minutes at 400 degrees.

• When the time is up, remove the Air Fryer Crispy Parmesan Brussels Sprouts and serve immediately!

The Air Fryer Crispy Parmesan Brussels sprouts come out super crispy, cheesy, seasoned perfectly and majorly delicious! 

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 chose from, but I love my Power Air Fryer XL 5.3qt! Here are some great options:

• Power Air Fryer XL 5.3qt – great because it has a large basket that will hold 1lb of Brussels sprouts in an even layer.
