Air Fryer Frozen Brussel Sprouts

Brussel sprouts are one of those vegetables that you either love them or hate them.

I used to hate them as a kid, but at my first job as a dietitian, I learned to love them.

They used to serve them the same day as eggplant parmesan, so I got them with a side of marinara sauce, and I was hooked!

If you love using your air fryer to make easy side dishes, check out these delicious Hasselback potatoes in air fryer, Air Fryer Broccolini and Air Fryer Spaghetti Squash .

Why you'll love this recipe

  • Budget friendly - for this recipe you can use frozen Brussel sprouts from the freezer section or you can use fresh Brussel Sprouts that have been frozen. This recipe is less than $3 for the entire recipe!
  • Simple Ingredients - no fancy ingredients for this keto side dish. You can get everything you need at your local grocery store.
  • Easy clean up - one of the reasons I love the air fryer is how easy it is to make and clean up after cooking!

You can also make Fresh Brussel Sprouts in the Air Fryer. Whether you get them in a bag or still on the stalk.

The Corsori Air Fryer is one of my favorite kitchen tools. For someone like me who is always on the run, my air fryer has been a lifesaver. It's a tool that comes in handy no matter what. I even use it in my RV for quick and easy recipes!

Whether it's for making breakfast, meal prepping food for the week, or preparing dinner. It makes the clean-up process 10 times easier.

Brussels sprouts are one of those amazing foods that can be eaten as a snack or as a delicious side dish. The way they just crisped right up in the air fryer leaves your mouth watering.

This recipe has basic ingredients that you have in the kitchen for everyday use. This is honestly my new favorite way to make frozen Brussel sprouts.

What to serve with Brussels sprouts

Brussels sprouts are one of those sides where you can eat them by themselves but also pair them with your favorite type of meat. Some of my personal favorites are these Easy Garlic Broiled Chicken Thighs, Air Fryer Chicken Thighs, Honey Lemon Pepper Chicken Thighs and Air Fryer Ribeye Steak.

Brussels sprouts are also perfect side items for your meal prep!

Brussels sprouts can be made in a lot of different ways they can be sautéed, roasted, and, steamed. Cast iron Brussels sprouts and bacon is another one of my favorite Brussel sprout recipes! Everything is better when you add bacon to it!

Brussels Sprout Nutrition

Did you know that Brussels sprouts are named after Brussels, Belgium? Brussels sprouts are part of the Cruciferous vegetable group, which also includes Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Kale, and Collard Greens.
Brussel sprouts are rich in vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Calcium, Iron, and Potassium. Studies show that cruciferous vegetable intake reduces the risk of cardiovascular mortality and development of type 2 diabetes.

It's also suggested that cruciferous vegetable intake may protect against the development of certain types of cancers.
