Crispy Brussels sprouts coated in a sticky, sweet chili glaze that’s the perfect blend of spicy and savory. A quick and easy side dish or snack that’s sure to impress!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Dash of pepper
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse Brussels sprouts thoroughly and pat them dry. Trim the ends and slice them in half lengthwise.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
  4. Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding.
  5. Air fry for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
  6. Prepare the sweet chili glaze by whisking together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
  7. Transfer the cooked Brussels sprouts back to the mixing bowl and toss with the glaze until fully coated.
  8. Return the glazed sprouts to the air fryer and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes at 400°F (200°C) to caramelize the glaze.
  9. Remove the sprouts from the air fryer and serve immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds or fresh chopped cilantro, if desired.

Notes

[‘Ensure Brussels sprouts are completely dry before tossing them in oil to achieve maximum crispiness.’, ‘Preheat the air fryer for even cooking.’, ‘Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to prevent steaming.’, ‘Adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the red pepper flakes.’, ‘Overcooking Brussels sprouts can make them bitter, so keep an eye on them during the second round of air frying.’]
