Making frozen brussels sprouts in the air fryer is so easy you won't even believe it! In under 20 minutes, you'll take frozen vegetables and turn them into the perfect side dish - crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Garnish with your favorite flavors and enjoy.
In the basket of the air fryer (or a separate mixing bowl) toss the frozen brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in an even layer in the air fryer basket. No need to trim or halve frozen brussels sprouts.
16 ounces frozen Brussels sprouts, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, Freshly ground black pepper
Set the air fryer to 390°F. Cook the brussels sprouts for 10 minutes and toss. Continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes until the outside leaves are crisp and slightly charred. Time may vary depending on the model of air fryer you use.
Serve with parmesan and lemon or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. See the post for more serving suggestions, too!

For best results make sure the sprouts are in an even layer in the air fryer basket and have space on all sides.
