Make Brussels sprouts crispy in the air fryer and coat them in a sweet and spicy Gochujang glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (like avocado or canola)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Dry the Brussels sprouts thoroughly using paper towels. This step is key for crispiness.
  2. Place the dried sprouts in a bowl, toss with the oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  4. Place the seasoned sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Air fry for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  6. While the sprouts cook, whisk together the Gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and minced garlic in a small bowl to make the glaze.
  7. After 10 minutes of cooking, remove the basket and immediately drizzle half of the Gochujang glaze over the hot sprouts. Toss gently to coat.
  8. Return the coated sprouts to the air fryer and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are deeply browned and crispy.
  9. Remove from the air fryer and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with the remaining glaze just before serving.

Notes

  • For the crispiest results, ensure the sprouts are completely dry before adding oil. Moisture prevents browning.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if your basket is small.
  • Adjust the amount of Gochujang if you prefer less heat in your final dish.
