Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
- Salt, to taste
- Cooking spray
Glaze
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 ½ tablespoons Calabrian chili paste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Brussels sprouts: In a mixing bowl, spray the halved Brussels sprouts with cooking spray and season with salt to taste. Toss well to evenly coat.
- Air fry the Brussels sprouts: Transfer the seasoned sprouts to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes. If your basket is small, shake it halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Make the glaze: While the sprouts cook, combine brown sugar, water, honey, Calabrian chili paste, smoked paprika, minced garlic, and salt in a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until most of the water evaporates and the glaze thickens enough to coat a spoon and create a line when drawn through.
- Combine and serve: Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked and crispy, transfer them to a serving dish. Spoon the thickened glaze over the sprouts and serve immediately. Alternatively, toss the sprouts in the glaze in a bowl before serving to ensure even coating.
Notes
- If your air fryer basket cannot fit all sprouts in one layer, shake the basket during cooking to promote even browning.
- Adjust the spice level by reducing or increasing the amount of Calabrian chili paste according to your preference.
- This dish pairs wonderfully as a side to steak or other main courses.
