Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Brussels Sprouts cut into halves or cut into quarters if larger
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt & Black Pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Umami Seasoning optional
- 2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Roasted & Salted Pistachios shelled; chopped
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
- Season the brussels sprouts: Place the cut brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and optional umami seasoning. Add the apple cider vinegar and toss until evenly coated.
- Air fry: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Add the brussels sprouts to the air fryer basket in an even layer. Cook for 10 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer.
- Finish with honey and pistachios: Transfer the brussels sprouts back to the bowl. Add the chopped pistachios and drizzle with honey. Toss until evenly coated, then season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
- Cut the brussels sprouts into evenly sized pieces so they cook at the same rate. Larger sprouts should be quartered, while smaller ones can be halved.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cooking in a single layer helps the brussels sprouts get crispy rather than steam.
- If your air fryer runs hot, start checking for doneness around the 8-minute mark and adjust the cooking time as needed.
- The umami seasoning used in this recipe is a mushroom-based blend. If you do not have umami seasoning, simply omit it or substitute with a pinch of onion powder or additional garlic powder.
- For a less sweet version, reduce the honey slightly or drizzle it lightly rather than tossing the brussels sprouts fully.
- These brussels sprouts are best enjoyed right away, but leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to help restore crispness.
