To make Air Fryer Honey Mustard Brussels Sprouts, you'll need a few simple ingredients. Here is the list: - 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 2 tablespoons honey - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon onion powder - Salt and pepper to taste - 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (optional) These ingredients blend together to create a tasty dish. The Brussels sprouts offer a crunchy texture, while honey adds sweetness. Dijon mustard gives a nice tang, and the garlic and onion powders boost the flavor. Using fresh Brussels sprouts is key. They should be firm and bright green. Trim them well, and cut them in half for even cooking. This size helps them crisp up nicely in the air fryer. Olive oil is your main fat here. It helps the sprouts crisp up and keep the honey and mustard stuck to them. If you want to add a twist, consider using different oils like avocado or sunflower oil. Balsamic glaze is optional, but I love drizzling it on top. It adds a rich flavor that pairs wonderfully with the honey mustard mix. You can skip this if you prefer a lighter taste. With these ingredients ready, you're set to create a delightful side dish. First, grab a large mixing bowl. Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the bowl. Then, pour in the olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard. Sprinkle in the garlic powder and onion powder. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together. Make sure the sprouts are evenly coated. This step is key for great flavor! Next, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Let it heat for about 5 minutes. While it warms up, get the coated Brussels sprouts ready. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the basket; this helps them cook evenly. If you have a lot, cook in batches. Now, air fry the Brussels sprouts for 12 to 15 minutes. Halfway through, shake the basket to ensure even cooking. They should turn golden brown and crispy on the outside. Keep an eye on them as they cook. When the sprouts are done, take them out of the air fryer. If you like, drizzle with balsamic glaze for extra flavor. Toss them gently to mix. Serve these warm for the best taste. They make a delightful side dish or a healthy snack! To get that crispy texture, cook the Brussels sprouts for 12 to 15 minutes. Check them halfway through and shake the basket. This helps them cook evenly. Do not overcrowd the basket. If you add too many sprouts, they will steam instead of fry. Cook in batches if needed for best results. If you need an alternative for honey, try maple syrup. It adds a nice sweetness too. For mustard, you can use spicy brown or whole grain mustard. Each option gives a unique flavor twist to your dish. To boost flavor, consider adding spices like smoked paprika or cumin. These spices add depth and warmth. You can also pair these sprouts with grilled chicken or fish. They make a great side dish for many meals. {{image_2}} You can easily make this dish vegan. Just swap honey for maple syrup. Maple syrup adds sweetness and keeps the dish plant-based. You can also try other veggies. Broccoli, carrots, or cauliflower work well. They roast nicely in the air fryer. Want to add some heat? Try red pepper flakes or cayenne. A pinch gives a nice kick. You can also mix in herbs like thyme or rosemary. Fresh herbs bring a great aroma and flavor. You can make these Brussels sprouts ahead of time. Cook a batch and freeze them. Just reheat when you need a quick side dish. Pair them with grilled chicken or fish for a full meal. They also taste great with rice or quinoa. Store your leftover Brussels sprouts in the fridge. Use an airtight container. This keeps them fresh for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. However, freezing may change the texture. To reheat, use the air fryer again. Set it to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. This method keeps your sprouts crispy. Avoid the microwave, as it makes them soggy. If you must use the microwave, heat them in short bursts. This helps reduce moisture. Enjoy your tasty sprouts as if they were just cooked! Yes, you can make them ahead. Just cook the Brussels sprouts, then let them cool. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. When you’re ready to eat, reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness. This makes meal prep easy! You’ll know they are done when they are golden brown and crispy. It usually takes 12-15 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. If they look browned and feel tender, they're ready! Yes, trimming is important. You should remove the tough stem and any yellow leaves. This helps them cook evenly and taste better. Halving them also allows for more flavor to soak in from the honey mustard mix. You can use frozen Brussels sprouts, but fresh ones work best. If you use frozen, make sure to thaw and drain them first. This helps keep the sprouts crispy. Adjust the cooking time, as frozen sprouts may need a few extra minutes to cook through.
