If you think you don't like Brussels sprouts, the air fryer will change your mind. High heat and circulating air turn them golden and nutty, with crackly outer leaves and tender centres. The balsamic-honey drizzle adds a sweet-tangy hit that balances the caramelised edges perfectly.

Instructions

Air fryer:190°C / 374°F

Trim and halve the sprouts, keeping any loose leaves — they crisp up like chips.
Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Air fry at 190°C for 8 minutes, then shake the basket.
Cook for a further 5–7 minutes until deeply browned and crisp at the edges.
Whisk the balsamic and honey together, drizzle over the hot sprouts and toss.
Serve immediately while crisp.
