Steps
- 01Trim the woody stem end off each sprout. Cut in half through the stem so each half has a large flat surface.
- 02Remove any loose, yellowed outer leaves.
- 03Spray with oil and season.
- 04Ready for the air fryer, flat-side down for maximum caramelization.
Flat-side down is the whole technique. The flat cut surface pressed against the hot basket is where the deep, golden-brown caramelization happens. Round-side down gives you steamed Brussels sprouts with no char. Every half should go in the basket flat-side down.
