Description
Bright, crisp, and impossibly addictive, these Air Fryer Maple Dijon Brussels Sprouts turn a humble veggie into the star of the plate with a tangy-sweet glaze and crispy edges.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Trim the stem ends and remove any loose or yellow outer leaves. Halve each sprout vertically so the cut side gets direct heat.
- Pat the halved sprouts very dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- In a bowl, toss the dried sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the sprouts cut-side down in an even layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway.
- In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic.
- Transfer the hot sprouts to a bowl and pour the glaze over them. Toss to coat.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Patting the sprouts dry and avoiding overcrowding ensures crispiness. The glaze can be made ahead and refrigerated.
