5g grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp olive oil

- Let Brussels sprouts cool down slightly, then smash them using the bottom of a drinking glass or a heavy object with a flat bottom.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F / 200°C.
- Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, salt and pepper all over Brussels sprouts. Toss to coat evenly.
- Cook in air fryer for 10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over Brussels sprouts if using. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
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.
