Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt or ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey see Note 1
  • 2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds *optional
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes use gochugaru or Aleppo pepper for a milder heat
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 375°F / oven to 400 °F. Wash 1 pound Brussels sprouts and slice each sprout in half.
  • Toss the Brussels sprouts in 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt until evenly coated.
  • Air fry the Brussels sprouts for 10 minutes / roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • In the same bowl you used to toss the sprouts, add the ingredients for the sauce: 5 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, and ½ teaspoon sesame oil.
  • Transfer the cooked Brussels sprouts into the mixing bowl and toss with the sauce. Meanwhile, preheat air fryer to 400 °F / set oven on broil at 500 °F.
  • Add the sauced sprouts back into the air fryer / broil in the oven on the top rack for 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly crispy.

Notes

  1. Honey: Can substitute with brown sugar. I don’t recommend substituting maple syrup because it’s too wet and will prevent the brussels sprouts from crisping up.
  2. Leftovers and Reheating: These chili garlic Brussels sprouts are best served immediately. As they cool, they gradually lose their crunch. However, any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to five days. To reheat, tip leftover Brussels sprouts back into the air fryer basket, or onto a sheet pan. Air fry or broil on high heat for a couple minutes or until lightly crisped and heated through.
