Crispy Air Fryer Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic

Cooking times will vary depending on the size of brussels sprouts. We like our brussels sprouts brown, crispy and tender. For small to medium brussels sprouts, cut them in half. If they’re larger, then cut them into thirds. Most importantly, try to buy them in all the same size for consistent cooking. You can also par-boil them first, drain and then continue with the air frying recipe method. Par boiling helps make them a little softer and more cooked through the center.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound brussels sprouts

    , ends removed and cut into bite sized pieces

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

    , or more if needed

  • 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • kosher salt
    , to taste
  • black pepper
    , to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Put cut brussels sprouts to bowl. Drizzle oil and balsamic vinegar evenly over the brussels sprouts. Don’t dump the oil and vinegar in one spot or else it will just coat one brussels sprout. You want to make sure to coat all the brussels sprouts.

  2. 2

    Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the brussels sprouts. Stir to combine everything and long enough so that all the brussels sprouts soaks up the marinade. There shouldn’t be any marinade left in the bottom of the bowl.

  3. 3

    Add brussels to the air fryer basket. Air fry at 360°F for about 15-20 minutes. Shake and gently stir half way through, about 8 minutes into cooking. Make sure you shake at the halfway mark! You don’t wany to end up with uneven cooking. If needed, shake and toss a 3rd time to make sure it all cooks evenly.

  4. 4

    Continue to air fry the brussels for the remainder of the time, or until the brussels are golden brown and cooked through. You can check earlier if needed to make sure nothing burns. Or you can add more time if needed to make sure it’s cooked through.

  5. 5

    Add additional salt and pepper if needed on the brussels sprouts and enjoy!

Brussels sprouts are quite possibly the best vegetable you can make in an air fryer; the leaves turn brittle and delightfully crunchy. Here they are paired with slivers of garlic, which turn into pungent golden chips as they fry. Then the whole thing is dressed with a mix of balsamic vinegar that’s been simmered until thickened, then seasoned with lime juice for freshness and soy sauce for complexity. Serve this as a side dish, or as snack with drinks; just make sure to have plenty of napkins on hand.

About this Recipe

Craving beautifully caramelized and irresistibly crispy brussels sprouts without the deep-fryer mess? This Crispy Air Fryer Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic recipe delivers perfectly browned, tender results every time, making it a stellar side dish for any meal.

The magic of this recipe lies in the air fryer's ability to circulate hot air rapidly, creating an incredibly crispy exterior on your brussels sprouts with minimal oil. By ensuring your sprouts are cut to a consistent size, you guarantee even cooking and that coveted tender-crisp texture that sets these apart from soggy steamed versions.

What you'll experience is a delightful contrast of textures: a deeply browned, almost crunchy outer layer giving way to a soft, sweet interior. The balsamic vinegar adds a subtle tang and a touch of sweetness that caramelizes beautifully as they roast, while the olive oil helps achieve that perfect crispness. A simple seasoning of kosher salt and black pepper enhances their natural, earthy flavor, creating a side dish that's both elegant and approachable. You'll love how easy it is to achieve restaurant-quality results in your home kitchen.

Feel free to adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar to suit your preference—a little more for a sweeter tang, or a little less for a savory focus. Remember that cooking times can vary based on the size of your brussels sprouts, so keep an eye on them to reach your desired level of crispiness. If you prefer your brussels sprouts exceptionally tender through the center, consider a quick par-boil before air frying.

These crispy air-fried brussels sprouts are a versatile side, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or as a standout addition to a holiday feast. They pair wonderfully with roasted chicken, steak, or even a simple pasta dish.
