Instructions for air frying steamed frozen Brussel sprouts

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 0F by turning on the air fryer and setting the temperature to 400 0F and letting it heat with an empty basket for 3-4 minutes.
  • Then, empty the frozen Brussel sprouts into the air fryer basket and let them air fry for 8 minutes. Give them a shake and air fry for another 8 minutes or until done.
  • In a bowl add olive oil, salt, and spices. Add the air-fried Brussel sprouts into the bowl and coat them evenly. Serve hot as a side dish. Alternately, slice them into halves when done. And then coat in spices. Slicing helps to get spices more evenly on the air-fried Brussel sprouts.
  • If you have the patience and the time, let them cool a bit after the first 8 minutes of air frying. Then slice them into halves and air fry for 7-8 more minutes with cut sides facing up, followed by coating in oil and spices.

Instructions for air frying raw frozen Brussel sprouts

  • If using raw frozen Brussel sprouts, empty the pack into the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry them at 380 0F for 10 minutes. Then open the air fryer basket and rotate them by giving them a shake or individually flipping them.
  • Then air fry them further for 8-9 minutes or until done.
  • For best results slice them into halves after the first 10 minutes of air fryer and let them air fryer with the cut sides facing up. Air fry for 8-9 minutes or until done.
  • In a bowl add olive oil, salt, and spices. Mix everything well and transfer the air-fried Brussel sprouts into the bowl. Coat them evenly and transfer them to a serving plate. Enjoy hot as a side dish!

Notes

  •  There is no need to thaw the frozen Brussel sprouts before air frying or even oven baking. Thawing can make them soggy.
  • If you have the patience and the time, let them cool a bit after the first 8 minutes of air frying. Then slice them into halves and air fry for 7-8 more minutes with cut sides facing up for perfectly crispy and delicious tasting Brussel sprouts.
  • The ideal air fryer temperature for cooking raw frozen Brussels sprouts is 380 degrees F. Taking it beyond that may cause the outer leaves to char or burn, and the core to stay hard and raw. 
  • There will be some differences in the total air frying time across all air fryers. The first time you air fry Brussel sprouts, pull out the air fryer basket a few minutes ahead of the suggested air frying duration so that you can see how much longer it needs.
