    Are Brussel Sprouts Cabbage?

    Contrary to what most people think Brussel sprouts are not many cabbages. They sure do look that way but they are not. They are a member of the same family though.

    The cruciferous vegetable category that brussels sprouts are in also includes broccoli and kale and bok choy. Give these brussels sprouts a chance and you will end up with an addiction that will have you just pop these in your mouth.

    Are Brussel Sprouts Healthy?

    Brussels sprouts are very healthy. They are high in fiber, antioxidants and vitamins and minerals. They are low in saturated fat and welcome addition to any diet.

    Some added health benefits of Brussel sprouts are that they reduce the risk of cancer. They also decrease inflammation and also aid in blood sugar control. These are a bit of a superfood. These are one of my family’s favorite side dishes.

    This easy Parmesan Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts recipe is tasty enough to make even the pickiest of eaters fall in love with Brussels sprouts. There is something about the flavor of parmesan on balsamic vinegar Brussel sprouts.

    How to Prepare and Cut Brussel Sprouts?

    How to prepare Brussel sprouts is easy but first, we have to cut the Brussel sprouts. Here are the steps below.

    1. Rinse the Brussel sprouts to remove any dirt and debris
    2. Peel away and brown discolored looking outer leaves.
    3. Using a sharp knife remove the discolored end of the sprout
    4. Cut the Brussel Sprout in half lengthwise

    Can I Use Frozen Brussel Sprouts in Air Fryer?

    Yes. Frozen brussels sprouts in the air fryer can be used but I will warn you ahead of time that the texture is completely different. Not just in this dish but in all dishes that call for brussels sprouts. I am not a fan at all of frozen Brussel sprouts.

    This recipe is really easy to make. Simply toss everything with some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese. Crispy Parmesan Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic drizzle ready in minutes.

    Ingredients

    • Brussel Sprouts
    • Olive Oil
    • Balsamic Vinegar
    • Kosher Salt
    • Pepper
    • Garlic Powder or minced garlic
    • Parmesan Cheese

    I have a few different methods to cook this recipe. This recipe was developed using an air fryer and then I modified it to include oven roasting directions.

    I would encourage you to try both methods and see what you prefer. I like the air fryer method because the air fryer heats up fast and is easy to clean and it makes fantastic crispy air fryer Brussel sprouts. This air fryer recipe is one of my favorite side dishes and it is ready in less than 15 minutes.

    How to Cook Parmesan Brussel Sprouts in Air Fryer

    I used about 6 large Brussel Sprouts to make this recipe. That was about 1 good size serving of these. This recipe can easily be doubled.

    Cut the root end off of the Brussel Sprout. Cut the Brussels in half lengthwise.

    Brussels sprouts prepared and cut in half ready to be roasted.

    In a large bowl big enough to put the Brussel Sprouts. Mix together Olive Oil, Vinegar, Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder. Toss in the Brussels and toss to coat. When these Brussels are cooked they are going to form a delicious balsamic glaze.

    Now decide on your cooking method below.

    NOTE: If you are using an Air Fryer then once you put the Brussels in the Air Fryer Sprinkle them with the Parmesan Cheese and air fry. If you are Roasting in the Oven put Parmesan Cheese on Brussels about halfway through the cooking time. The goal is to have crispy Brussel sprouts, but not to let them get too dark. Golden brown is the color that we are looking for.

    This is the way that I chose to cook my air fryer Parmesan Brussel Sprouts. It is the easiest way in my opinion with the least amount of clean up.

    How Long to Cook Brussel Sprouts in Air Fryer

    Preheat Air Fryer to 380 Degrees
    Place Brussel Sprouts in Air Fryer Basket
    Set timer on Air Fryer for 8 Minutes
    Shake Basket halfway through cooking time

    Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts

    Preheat Oven to 400 Degrees. If you like them really crispy turn the oven to high heat. Oven to 425 degrees
    Placed Halved Brussels on Baking Sheet Pan cut side or flat side down in single layer
    Roast 15 to 20 Minutes Turn Brussels after 7 Minutes. If you like them more done 30 minutes cooking time.
