Notes
- If you want the Brussels sprouts to be extra crunchy, you may put them back in the air fryer for 5 minutes after topping with grated parmesan.
- For vegan or non-dairy, simply omit the parmesan or substitute with a plant-based alternative.
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can also make these in the oven. Simply bake in a preheated oven at 420°F / 220°C for 10 minutes, then flip and bake for another 10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
