Crispy Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts with Sweet and Spicy Glaze
These air fryer Brussels sprouts will become your new favorite side dish! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they’re coated with a sweet and spicy glaze for a flavor punch.
Ingredients
- 2 lb. Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 5 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
- 1/2 tsp. hot paprika
- Kosher salt
- 6 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. sriracha
- Aleppo pepper and sliced scallions, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F as you prepare the Brussels sprouts. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sprouts with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, hot paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt to season evenly.
- Place the Brussels sprouts in your air fryer basket in a single layer (work in two batches for best results). Air-fry them for 9-11 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they’re crispy, charred, and tender.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the maple syrup, sriracha, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Set aside 2 1/2 tablespoons in a separate bowl and stir in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Toss the first batch of roasted Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of the syrup mixture in a large bowl, coating well. Repeat with the second batch and another 2 tablespoons.
- Transfer the coated sprouts to a serving platter. Drizzle with the reserved maple-oil mixture and finish with a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper and sliced scallions for extra flavor.
