Ingredients to make air fryer Brussels sprouts
- Brussels sprouts – Trim the ends of your Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Try to buy roughly the same-sized vegetables so they cook up evenly.
- Olive oil – I like olive oil here, but you can use whatever your favorite oil is. I have used avocado oil before, which is just as good.
- Kosher salt – Salt makes the world go round and makes food taste good. Don’t skimp!
- Black pepper – Optional, but I love the taste of black pepper with Brussels.
- Garlic powder – Again, optional, but it brings a burst of garlic flavor. I like using garlic powder better than raw garlic because it won’t burn or get bitter like fresh garlic.
