How long do you air fry Brussels sprouts?

Halved Brussels sprouts take 12–16 minutes at 400°F (205°C), started cut-side down and flipped at 8 minutes. Small whole sprouts take 14–18 minutes at 390°F. Medium whole sprouts take 16–22 minutes. Halving is strongly recommended — it dramatically speeds cooking and creates a caramelized flat face.

What temperature should I air fry Brussels sprouts at?

400°F (205°C) for halved sprouts — the high heat caramelizes the cut surface beautifully in 12–16 minutes. For whole sprouts, drop to 390°F (199°C) so the dense center has time to soften before the outer leaves over-crisp. Score an X in the base of whole sprouts to help heat penetrate to the center.

How do you make Brussels sprouts crispy in the air fryer?

Halve the sprouts and remove any loose outer leaves. Dry thoroughly, then toss with 1–2 tsp oil and seasoning. Place cut-side down in a single layer. Cook at 400°F (205°C) for 12–16 minutes, flipping at 8 minutes. The cut face should be deep golden-brown. Add balsamic glaze or Parmesan only after cooking — adding before burns the sugars.

Tips

Halve Brussels sprouts and place cut-side down — the flat face caramelizes against the basket for the best flavor.
Remove loose outer leaves before cooking so they don't blow around and burn on the heating element.
Toss with 1–2 tsp oil and season well; Brussels sprouts are dense and absorb seasoning slowly.
For extra-crispy outer leaves, add 1–2 minutes at the very end at full temperature.
A drizzle of balsamic glaze or honey after cooking (not before) balances the bitterness without burning.

Veelgemaakte fouten

Not halving large sprouts — whole large Brussels sprouts cook unevenly, charring outside while staying raw in the dense center.
Leaving loose outer leaves on the sprout — they detach in the air flow, hit the heating element, and smoke.
Using wet sprouts; moisture from washing needs to be fully dried before oiling.
Overcrowding; sprouts need space to roast, not steam.
Adding the balsamic glaze before cooking — sugars burn at 400°F and turn bitter.
