Brussels sprouts in Airfryer

Brussels sprouts in the Airfryer is a great idea! They are healthy and deliciously crunchy to serve with your dish. Trim the Brussels sprouts and clean them in water. Sprinkle them with oil and some herbs and then put them in the Airfryer for 5 minutes at 200 degrees. Shake the Brussels sprouts around in the Airfryer and let the Brussels sprouts again at 200 degrees for 5 minutes. Isn't this crunchy enough for you? Then you can do one more round in the Airfryer for 5 minutes at 200 degrees.

Chef's tip: A combination of Brussels sprouts in the Airfryer with bacon is delicious! The pre-fried Bacon can then easily be placed in the Airfryer.

Cooking frozen Brussels sprouts

You can cook frozen sprouts immediately. But the best thing is to thaw them out first if you have the time. If you cook them frozen, a lot of moisture will remain in the Brussels sprouts and the Brussels sprouts will lose flavor.
