Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 tbsp pure maple syrup (for vegan, or use honey if not strictly vegan)
2 tbsp sriracha sauce
2 tsp gluten-free tamari (or soy sauce)
2 tsp rice vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
4 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

1

Toss 1 1/2 lbs trimmed, halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
2

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Add the sprouts cut-side down in a single layer. You may need to work in batches - overcrowding prevents crisping.
3

Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes. Shake the basket, then continue cooking for 6-8 more minutes until the cut sides are deeply caramelized and the outer leaves are crispy.
4

While the sprouts cook, whisk together 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (for vegan, or use honey if not strictly vegan), 2 tbsp sriracha sauce, 2 tsp gluten-free tamari (or soy sauce), 2 tsp rice vinegar, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until slightly thickened.
5

Transfer the hot sprouts to a bowl. Drizzle the glaze over them and toss to coat.
6

Serve topped with 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds and 4 thinly sliced green onions.

Questions

How long does Air Fryer Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Re-crisp leftovers in the air fryer at 350 F for three to four minutes; the microwave softens the coating.

Can I halve or double Air Fryer Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, air-fry in batches; a crowded basket steams instead of crisping.
