Cook Time
80 minutes
If you don't love Brussels sprouts, you haven't had them cooked to perfection! The sprouts get air-fried or roasted at a high temperature, which gets them nice and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. The sauce bursts with rich, umami, sweet, slightly spice, and earthy notes, which complement the flavors of the charred Brussel sprouts.

While the sprouts are cooking, make the sauce. In a large bowl, mix together all of the sauce ingredients. Add water in 1 tablespoon increments until desired consistency is reached.

Air fryer directions
In a large bowl, add the sprouts to a large bowl and toss with oil and spices. Preheat the air fryer to 375F. Once heated, add the sprouts to the base of the air fryer.
Cook for 5 minutes then toss. Cook another 5 minutes, then toss again. If you like them super crispy and crunchy, cook for another 5-10 minutes, checking and tossing them in 5-minute increments.
