THE BEST Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts
ere is a good chance that Brussels sprouts are the best vegetable that can be prepared in an air fryer. The leaves of the Brussels sprouts become brittle and pleasantly crunchy. There, they are accompanied by slivers of garlic, which, as they cook, transform into chips that have a spicy and golden flavour. The whole thing is then seasoned with lime juice for its freshness and soy sauce for its complexity, and then it is finished with a mixture of balsamic vinegar that has been cooked until it has thickened. This can be served as a side dish or as a snack with drinks; however, you should make sure to have a sufficient supply of napkins available.
Components
- 1 pound of brussels sprouts which have been trimmed and cut in half through the stems (bigger sprouts should be chopped in quarters).
- Olive oil, extra-virgin, three tablespoon measures
- a half teaspoon of kosher salt
- Two cloves of garlic, sliced very thinly
- Half a cup of balsamic vinegar
- Fresh lime juice, one teaspoon, plus additional lime juice for serving
- 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce
Details to follow
- If preheating is required, bring the temperature of the air fryer up to 400 degrees.
- To prepare the brussels sprouts, place them in the basket of the air fryer and drizzle them with one tablespoon of oil and salt. Fry the sprouts for fifteen minutes, shaking the basket or stirring them halfway during the cookingtime.
- Garlic should be ground into the sprouts. Continue to sauté the garlic for another two to four minutes, or until it reaches a golden brown colour.
- A small pot should be used to bring the balsamic vinegar to a simmer while this is going on. Simmer the mixture for two to three minutes, or until it has thickened and begun to take on a syrupy appearance, making sure to increase the heat as required to keep it from burning. It will go from being reduced to being burned very quickly, so make sure you keep a close eye on it. Remove the pan from the heat and add two tablespoons of oil, lime juice, and soy sauce to the pan using a whisk.
- The brussels sprouts should be transferred to a serving tray, and then balsamic dressing should be mixed in.
- Additional lime juice should be squeezed on top to taste.
It is recommended that you prepare the brussels sprouts by heating them in the microwave for a few minutes with a cup of water before air-frying them. Through the use of this hack, it will be perfectly sensitive and soft. Have fun with it.
