Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 medium potato, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Wash and prepare all vegetables: trim the ends of Brussels sprouts, halve them lengthwise, dice the potato into small 1/2-inch cubes, and dice the bell pepper into similar-sized pieces.
- Pat Brussels sprouts dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness during air frying.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine halved Brussels sprouts, diced potato, and diced bell pepper.
- Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss thoroughly to ensure even coating of seasonings and oil.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Transfer the seasoned vegetable mixture to the air fryer basket, spreading them in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket or stirring the vegetables every 5-7 minutes to promote even browning and prevent sticking.
- Check for doneness: vegetables should be golden brown, crispy on the edges, and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Once cooked, transfer to a serving dish and taste, adjusting seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot as a side dish or breakfast hash, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
Tips
- Moisture is the enemy of crispiness: Always pat your Brussels sprouts completely dry before cooking to ensure maximum crunch.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - this is crucial for achieving that perfect golden-brown exterior. Cook in batches if needed.
- Shake or stir the vegetables every 5-7 minutes to promote even cooking and prevent burning.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
- Let the air fryer preheat for a few minutes to create an instant high-heat environment that guarantees crispy results.
- If you like extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix for a spicy kick.
