If you do not care for Brussels sprout, this recipe will change your mind…by simply placing the sprouts in the air fryer and you will totally change your mind about not liking Brussels sprouts.
Lately I try to add Brussels sprouts on our table, and I have tried so many recipes, from stir-fry to roasting, and I have to admit that I am very impressed when I air fried it. I already air fried Brussels sprouts many times, and now I got it really working well. On my first attempt, I treated the Brussels sprouts as I usually do when roasting in the oven…and realized that the loose leaves would be too well done for our taste (burned) and that we enjoy more the loose leaves as they carry more flavor and its crispy texture. Well, this was an easy solution…just peel off the layers of leaves and separate the leaves from the buds and treat them separately in the air fryer.
It is well worth the “double” stage cooking, as each part of the Brussels sprouts are cooked to precision, to serve just mix them together and you will not be able to stop easting until all the Brussels sprouts are gone, and with not additional dressing or sauce…just as it is!
Oh yes, I wanted to share with you about the knife sharpener, Any Sharp that I received to try…nothing is more annoying than having a dull knife. I was pretty happy with this knife sharpener, it is small and come in a variety of colors…and yes, it even sharps serrated knife which I used on my bread knife. I like that the fact that it is small (easy to store) and secure to the counter when in use. For more detail please check AnySharp site….and yes, I did use the sharpener before cutting my Brussels sprouts…
