Why We Love Brussel Sprouts?
Eating a lot of Brussels sprouts can help you protect against cancers of the stomach, lungs, kidneys, breast, bladder, and prostate. Moreover, crunchy veggies like Brussels sprouts may also help you stave off other health issues, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, and diabetes.
One of the best things about Brussels sprouts is that you can serve them as a side dish with almost any type of food. However, we recommend you to side them with main protein courses in order to take all the nutrients your body needs. These include roasted turkey, chicken, steak, pork, and more. I also love to pair them with seafood.

Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts Ingredients List

In addition, keep in mind that these are the amounts of the ingredients for only 2 servings. So, if you want to make enough for the whole family, just double or triple the quantity. Here is what you will need:
a pound of halved Brussels sprouts;
1 tsp. of kosher salt ;

1 tbsp. of honey;

This recipe is almost as easy to prepare as it is to eat in no time! However, don’t believe me, just try it preparing it yourself and tell me how it was in the comment section below.
First of all, take a large bowl and toss the Brussels sprouts with salt, olive oil, and white pepper to coat them evenly.
Next, pour the Brussels sprouts from the bowl into the air fryer basket. Keep in mind that all of them don’t need to be in a single layer. However, if you want them to have that extra crunch, then we recommend only putting one layer and cooking the rest in batches.
Set your air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit and cook your vegetables for nine minutes.
After the nine minutes, shake the air fryer basket and let them cook for another nine minutes.
While your Brussels sprouts are in the basket, take a small bowl. Add the honey, water, and garlic chili paste to it.
Then, keep the bowl in the microwave and heat it for one minute so the sauce can get hot.
After the Brussels sprouts are done, take them out of the basket and place them inside a large bowl.
Toss the sauce on top of the Brussels sprouts while they are hot.
Finally, sprinkle the dish with some sesame seeds and serve them as soon as possible to enjoy the crunchy texture.
