Trim the Brussels sprouts: wash, trim, and remove any browned leaves from the Brussels sprouts. If your Brussels sprouts are smaller, like 1 inch, you do not have to cut them in half. If the Brussels sprouts are larger than 1 inch, cut them in half or quarters for the extra-large Brussels sprouts.
Season the Brussels sprouts: Add cleaned Brussels sprouts to a large bowl. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat them evenly.
Cook: Preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes at 375℉. Add the Brussels sprouts in a single layer. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove the basket and shake the Brussels sprouts. Continue to cook for 6-7 additional minutes or until the desired crispiness is reached.
Serve: Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a bowl. Drizzle them with balsamic cream and add parmesan on top.
Notes
Always preheat your air fryer. This ensures the Brussels sprouts begin crisping immediately as they go in.
