Greek Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts

Hey hey,

Brussels sprouts have never been the most popular vegetable, and honestly, I felt the same way for years. That is, until I tried this recipe.  So here is my version of Brussels sprouts, my Greek Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts. The air fryer was a game-changer.  The first time I ever tried them, they had this strange, almost unpleasant smell that completely put me off.  I remember thinking, “Nope, not for me,” and I never went near them again after that.

If you are wondering what the twist is, well, the twist is to add lemon juice after you remove them from the air fryer.  And yes… I did add lemon. I mean, how could I not? I’m Greek, and lemon practically jumps into my shopping basket on its own. A squeeze of fresh lemon at the end wakes everything up, brightens the flavor, and gives those crispy Brussels sprouts that unmistakable Mediterranean sparkle. Honestly, between the olive oil, garlic powder, and lemon, these sprouts were so good.

Once you toss them in a little olive oil, season them with salt and pepper, and let the air fryer do it job. Crispy edges, tender centers, and that irresistible roasted flavor.  This Greek Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts recipe is simple, quick, vegan, vegetarian, and, of course, Greek‑inspired, because I had to add a Mediterranean twist. If there’s one thing we Greeks know how to do, it’s take a vegetable and turn it into something delicious.  The Brussel Sprouts I used for this recipe were already trimmed.  All I did was add them to a bowl of room temperature water to soak for about 30 minutes.

Have a great morning/afternoon/evening, and weekend everyone!! :0
