Brussels sprouts
Olive oil

Soy sauce
Garlic powder

Directions

I start by trimming and halving the Brussels sprouts.
In a large bowl, I toss the sprouts with olive oil, Sriracha, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until they’re well coated.
I preheat my air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
I arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
I cook them for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they’re crispy and golden brown.
I serve them immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes about 4 servings. The total time needed, including prep and cooking, is approximately 20 minutes.

Variations

When I want to change things up, I sometimes add a drizzle of honey for a sweet and spicy contrast. For even more heat, I toss in a few crushed red pepper flakes. If I feel like making it a bit smoky, I use smoked paprika along with the garlic powder.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftover Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I pop them back into the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes until they’re warmed through and crispy again. I avoid using the microwave because it makes them soggy.

FAQs

How spicy are these Brussels sprouts?

The spice level is moderate, but I can adjust it easily by adding more or less Sriracha depending on my preference.

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts?

I prefer using fresh Brussels sprouts for the best texture, but if I only have frozen, I make sure to thaw and dry them well before cooking.

What other sauces can I use instead of Sriracha?

Sometimes I swap Sriracha with buffalo sauce or even a spicy Korean gochujang sauce for a different flavor.

Can I make them ahead of time?

I find they’re best eaten fresh, but I can prepare the sauce and toss them right before air frying if I need to save time.

Are these Brussels sprouts vegan?

Yes, this recipe is naturally vegan as long as I use a plant-based Sriracha and soy sauce.

Spicy Sriracha Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts are a quick, bold, and delicious way to enjoy this often-overlooked vegetable.
