Ingredients

1 Medium Shallot
1 Pound Brussels Sprouts
1 Teaspoon Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1/2 Teaspoon Salt

Equipment

Bowl
Wooden Spoon
Knife
Air Fryer
Cutting board

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

In the first step, heat the fryer to 375ºF. Then cut 1 pound of Brussels sprouts in half. Take a bowl, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and mix thoroughly and together with cabbage.

Step 2

Add the Brussels sprouts to the air fryer and shake into a single layer. Air fry, stopping to shake the basket about halfway through, for 15 minutes total. Meanwhile, prepare the shallot butter.

Step 3

1 medium shallots finely chopped. Place 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a sized bowl. Make sure the bowl is microwave-safe and melt in it. Alternatively, melt in a medium saucepan over low heat, then remove from heat. Next, add the shallots and 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar and mix thoroughly.

Step 4

When the Brussels sprouts are ready, transfer into the bowl or saucepan with the shallot butter and toss to combine.

All veggies in the air-fryer are so good – thanks to the super-hot circulating air, they’re sweeter, crunchier. Brussel sprouts may be the perfect veggie to cook in the air fryer. Their insides become tender while their outsides crisp to perfection.
