AIR FRYER SMASHED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

These Brussels sprouts make a super quick side dish or appetizer. It only takes 20 minutes to get them on the table from start to finish.

WHAT DO BRUSSELS SPROUTS GO WITH?

They really go with any main. I’m really bad about eating one thing for a meal so most often I eat just Brussels sprouts as a meal. However, I also like to serve them with this creamy Chicken Doritos Casserole, Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken, or Slow Cooker Caribbean Pot Roast.

ARE BRUSSELS SPROUTS HEALTHY?

Yes! Brussels Sprouts are low in calories and high in many nutrients including fiber, vitamin K, C, A, folate, and manganese. As well, they’re rich in antioxidants and have small amounts of vitamin B6, potassium, iron, thiamine, magnesium, and phosphorus.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR THIS RECIPE

  • Brussels Sprouts
  • Olive Oil
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Parmesan
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • If you like a little spice, you can add some chili flakes to give it a kick!

HOW TO MAKE SMASHED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Full recipe in the recipe card below

  1. First, microwave the Brussels sprouts for 4 or 5 minutes until they’re soft enough to smash.
  2. Smash them almost flat and add them to a bowl along with oil, vinegar, parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  3. Toss to coat them.
  4. Then, add the Brussels sprouts to an air fryer to cook.
  5. Turn them halfway so they get crispy on both sides.

HOW TO MAKE SMASHED BRUSSELS SPROUTS IN A SKILLET OR SHEET PAN

You don’t have to have an Air Fryer to enjoy this yummy recipe. A skillet on the stovetop or sheet pan in the oven works just as well.

You still need to follow the recipe as written below through step 5. Therefore, you parboil, smash, and season just as written. When it comes to crisping and finishing the Brussels, you’ll place them (1) on a sheet pan at 425°F for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes flip and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes. I like to sprinkle a little more parmesan over them the last flip or (2) place them in a medium-hot and slightly oiled skillet for 10 to 15 minutes. Flip, sprinkle more cheese (if desired), and cook another 10 minutes.
