How to Make AIR FRYER CRISPY KETO PARMESAN BRUSSEL SPROUTS

Step 1: Blanch the Brussels Sprouts

In a nonstick saucepan, place the Brussels sprouts with 2 cups of water. Cover and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes. This step softens the sprouts slightly, ensuring they become tender inside while achieving crispiness outside once air-fried.

Step 2: Slice and Season

After blanching, remove the water and set aside. Slice each Brussels sprout in half. In a medium bowl, combine your halved sprouts with avocado oil, parmesan cheese, crushed almonds, everything seasoning, and sea salt. Mixing these ingredients well ensures every sprout is coated evenly, enhancing their flavor during cooking.
