How Long to Cook Brussels Sprouts (Halved, Fresh, Air Fryer) in the air fryer
Specification: 1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved cut-side down first, tossed with 1.5 tbsp oil + 1 tsp kosher salt + 1/2 tsp black pepper
3-Step Execution Protocol
Preheat air-fryer to 380°F (193°C). Place brussels sprouts (halved, fresh, air fryer) (1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved cut-side down first, tossed with 1.5 tbsp oil + 1 tsp kosher salt + 1/2 tsp black pepper) in a single layer with space between items for convection airflow.
Cook for 12–15 mins (shake at 8 min). Flip or shake basket at the 8-minute mark for even browning.
The cut sides are deeply charred to a near-black caramelisation; outer leaves have crisped into papery flakes; the cores are fork-tender when pierced. Sprouts that look uniformly green all over are undercooked no matter what the timer says. Rest for 1 minutes before serving.
Bon Appétit "Air-Fryer Brussels Sprouts" method (380°F/12–15 min for 1-inch halves); tested in Ninja Foodi AF101 6-qt. USDA vegetable-doneness references support 12–15 min for standard Brussels sizes. No probe target — doneness is a char + fork-tender test, so internalTempTargetF is omitted per HR-2.
