Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts (cleaned)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or as needed)
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon Chipotle Chili powder or chili powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half through the stems. For larger sprouts, cut them into quarters to ensure even cooking.
- Season Brussels Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts with extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, and sea salt. Toss well to coat all pieces evenly.
- Air Fry Brussels Sprouts: Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket at least twice during cooking for even crisping. Start checking for doneness after 10 minutes to avoid overcooking.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix melted unsalted butter, chipotle chili powder (or chili powder), smoked paprika, sea salt, red pepper flakes, honey, and maple syrup until well combined.
- Toss with the Sauce: Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked and crispy, transfer them to a bowl and toss immediately with the prepared butter sauce to fully coat.
- Serve: Serve the Longhorn Brussels Sprouts immediately while hot and enjoy their crispy, flavorful goodness.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, shake the air fryer basket multiple times during cooking.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes and chipotle powder to your preferred spice level.
- Make sure to cut larger Brussels sprouts into quarters to ensure even cooking.
- This dish is best served fresh and hot for optimal flavor and texture.
