Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a bowl. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for 10 minutes. Shake the basket well. Continue air frying for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender inside and crispy outside.
- While the sprouts cook, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the Gochujang, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sesame oil until smooth.
- Once the sprouts are crispy, transfer them to a clean bowl. Pour the prepared Gochujang glaze over the hot sprouts. Toss quickly to coat them completely.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can lightly dust the sprouts with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch before tossing with oil.
- Adjust the amount of Gochujang based on your preference for heat.
- If you do not have rice vinegar, use an equal amount of apple cider vinegar.
