Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts with Garlic, Balsamic, and Soy

This recipe truly marries all the favorites: crispy Brussels sprouts, garlic, balsamic, soy and lime juice. If you must pair it with a protein, some teriyaki short ribs, grilled shrimp and some steamed rice would be great.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved through the stems (cut larger ones into quarters)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice plus more for serving
  • ½ teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions

  • Heat air fryer to 400F, if preheating is necessary.
  • Place Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket; drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and the salt. Fry for 15 minutes, shaking basket or stirring the sprouts halfway through.
  • Sprinkle sprouts with garlic. Continue to fry until the garlic is golden brown, another 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a simmer. Continue to simmer until thickened and starting to look syrupy, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning, 2 to 3 minutes. (Keep a close eye on it. It will go from reduced to burned very quickly.) Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons oil, the lime juice and soy sauce.
  • Transfer Brussels sprouts to a serving platter and drizzle with balsamic dressing. Squeeze more lime juice on top to taste.
