How to make Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts
- (Full recipe and video below). Prepare all ingredients: brussel sprouts, oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic powder and salt.
- In a medium bowl mix oil with balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic powder and salt.
- Cut brussel sprouts in half, marinate with half the sauce, keep remaining.
- Air Fry for 12 – 15 minutes at 360 F ( I used this large Air Fryer that I recommend).
- After cooking add remaining marinate to brussel sprouts, toss it.
How to make Oven Brussel Sprouts
- Prepare all ingredients same as above, instead cooking in Air Fryer we will be baking in the oven.
- Preheat oven to 400 F, prepare baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread marinated brussel sprouts on baking sheet.

Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts Tips
- If you don’t have Air Fryer don’t worry you can make these balsamic brussel sprouts in the oven, just follow the recipe. If you are looking for Air Fryer this is the one I recommend Secura Air Fryer, it is big and I don’t have to cook my food in batches, perfect for families. Also, I have Gourmia Air Fryer that I like but it is much smaller, if you have more food you would have to cook in batches, perfect for 1 -2 people.
- You have to remember to reserve half the balsamic marinate, the rest of the sauce you should add it after cooking, this will enhance the taste.
