Buy Brussels sprouts
One of the great things about Brussels sprouts is that they can be bought by the stalk or already trimmed. Buying them on a stick can be a good option if you plan on using them within a week, as they stay fresher longer. If you are looking for a more convenient option, you can also buy it already cut and ready to use.
butter substitute
Butter is a key ingredient in this recipe but can be substituted for various dietary needs. If you eat vegan, you can replace the butter with vegan butter or margarine. Those who are lactose intolerant can use lactose-free butter or a plant-based butter substitute. And if you want to reduce the amount of saturated fat in the recipe, you can use a lower-fat butter or extra olive oil on top of what’s already listed in the recipe. Keep in mind that using a different type of fat or less of it may affect the final flavor and texture of the dish.
Cooking tips for air fryers
If you are new to cooking with an air fryer, consider the following tips:
- Be sure to spread the Brussels sprouts out in one layer to ensure even cooking.
- Turn the Brussels sprouts halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Keep a close eye on the Brussels sprouts in the final minutes of cooking, as they can quickly go from perfectly browned to burnt.

Storage and reheating instructions
This dish is best enjoyed fresh, as reheating can soften the Brussels sprouts and make them less crispy. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, you can try to get them crispy again by putting them back in the air fryer for a few minutes.
